For the 2027 National Day holiday, civil servants, public employees, and workers will have a continuous 4-day break, from Thursday, September 2nd to Sunday, September 5th, 2027. This period includes the 2 days of the officially mandated National Day holiday and 2 days off per week.

Another item approved was the plan for the 2026 Vietnamese Culture Day holiday. Accordingly, November 24, 2026 will be a one-day holiday for officials, civil servants, and public employees.

The Deputy Prime Minister assigned the Minister of Home Affairs the responsibility of notifying administrative agencies, public service units, political organizations, socio-political organizations, businesses, and employees about the holiday schedule as prescribed.

To ensure uninterrupted public service, agencies and units need to proactively develop plans for assigning personnel on duty and arranging work appropriately, ensuring continuous handling of tasks during holidays and Tet (Lunar New Year).

In addition, ministries, departments, and localities are required to implement specific solutions to encourage businesses, organizations, and individuals to maintain production and business activities and develop socio-economic activities. Ensuring the supply of goods and services, controlling price stability and market conditions, and balancing labor supply and demand should be emphasized before, during, and after the holidays.
