Government finalizes 7-day Lunar New Year holiday plan
Government officers and workers will enjoy a 7-day holiday for the 2027 Tet (Lunar New Year), from February 4 to February 10, 2027 (from the 28th day of the last month to the 5th day of the first month of the lunar calendar).
The Vietnamese government has finalized a 7-day holiday plan for the Lunar New Year, known as Tet, in 2027. The holiday will span from February 4 to February 10, 2027. This decision was announced in an official letter from Deputy Prime Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra on October 2, 2026.
Under the approved schedule, the holiday period for civil servants and public employees includes a 7-day break for Tet, a 4-day break for National Day in 2027, and a 1-day break for Vietnam Culture Day on November 24, 2026.
The Deputy Prime Minister instructed the Minister of Home Affairs to notify all relevant parties, including administrative agencies, public service providers, political organizations, socio-political organizations, businesses, and employees. These entities are required to arrange sufficient duty staff and organize working shifts to ensure uninterrupted service to the public.
Ministries, state agencies, and local authorities have been tasked with implementing measures to encourage business and production operations, maintain market supply and demand stability, control prices, and ensure a balanced labor supply before, during, and after the holiday periods.
