🇻🇳 Vietnam Public Holidays 2026

Vietnam has 11 nationwide public holidays in 2026 — 10 on a weekday and 1 at a weekend. None of them fall on a Friday or a Monday, so there is no three-day weekend to plan around this year. The full calendar is below, with the date, the weekday and the local name for every holiday, followed by a month-by-month guide to what closes.

Planning around Vietnam's holidays

On public holidays, banks, government offices and many businesses in Vietnam close, and transport may run on reduced schedules. For remote workers, holidays are a good time to explore — but a poor time to rely on local services or official appointments. Check the dates above before booking visa appointments or important meetings.

Many countries add regional or state holidays on top, and whether a given day is paid depends on your employer, so check locally before you book around it.
