Vietnam’s public holidays are administered by the Ministry of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs of Vietnam (MoLISA).
Employees seeking to plan ahead and schedule their allotted paid holidays can now mark these dates in their calendars. When a public holiday falls on a weekend – either Saturday or Sunday – the following Monday will be considered a paid holiday.
The Lunar New Year (Tet) is generally considered the most important holiday in Vietnam. It is a five-day holiday during which it is customary for workers to return to their hometowns. In this light, local businesses are widely known to close during this time.
