The Ministry of Home Affairs has just submitted to the Government a plan for Lunar New Year and National Day holidays in 2026 for cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers of administrative agencies, public service agencies, political organizations, socio-political organizations and workers in the business sector.
For officials and civil servants, the Ministry of Home Affairs proposed that the 2026 Lunar New Year holiday last for 9 consecutive days, including 5 Tet holidays according to the Labor Code and 4 weekly days off.
Officials and civil servants are proposed to have Lunar New Year 2026 holidays from Saturday, February 14, 2026 (ie December 27, year of At Ty) to Sunday, February 22, 2026 (ie January 6, year of Binh Ngo).
For employees, based on actual conditions and holiday schedules for civil servants and public employees, employers arrange appropriate Lunar New Year holiday schedules.
The Ministry of Home Affairs suggests that businesses can choose 1 day at the end of the year of At Ty and the first 4 days of the year of Binh Ngo or 2 days at the end of the year of At Ty and the first 3 days of the year of Binh Ngo or 3 days at the end of the year of At Ty and the first 2 days of the year of Binh Ngo.
Enterprises must notify employees of their Tet holiday plans at least 30 days in advance.
If the weekly day off coincides with a public holiday or Tet holiday as prescribed in Clause 1, Article 112 of the Labor Code, the employer shall arrange a compensatory weekly day off for the employee on the next working day as prescribed in Clause 3, Article 111 of the Labor Code.
The Ministry of Home Affairs encourages employers to apply the 2026 Lunar New Year holiday period for employees as the same plan for civil servants and public employees, while also encouraging more favorable agreements for employees.
For the National Day holiday in 2026, the Ministry of Home Affairs proposed to take a day off on September 2, 2026 (Solar calendar) and the day immediately preceding September 1, 2026; swapping from the second working day (August 31, 2026) to the weekly day off on Saturday (August 22, 2026).
Civil servants and public employees will have the 2026 National Day holiday from Saturday, August 29, 2026 to Wednesday, September 2, 2026. Thus, on the occasion of the 2026 National Day holiday, civil servants and public employees will have 5 days off (including 2 National Day holidays according to regulations, 2 weekly days off and 1 day exchanged with a weekly day off).
In the business sector, employers decide to give employees 2 days off (September 2 and 1 day before or after)./.
