Governing Law: Official public holidays in Burundi are regulated by the Décret n°100/182 du 17 juillet 2006 fixant la liste et le régime des jours fériés, within the framework of the Code du Travail du Burundi (Décret loi n°1-037 du 07 juillet 93). • Burundi International Codes BI and BDI (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .bi (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of Burundi information and news: UnitedHealthcare Global (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (Burundi maps, demographics and economic statistics), the IFES (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and voter participation in Burundi), and Wikipedia (includes Burundi commemorative dates that are not necessarily public holidays).

Religion of Specific Business Contacts : Some of the business contacts that you may be trying to meet in Burundi, may belong to a religious group that is not common in Burundi, and therefore which is not included in the above list of public holidays or bank holidays. To be safe, you should also verify that no major religious holidays coincides with any planned business trip to Burundi.

Religious Holidays : Public holidays in Burundi that are based on certain religious calendars may be subject to local variations due to differing interpretations between different religious authorities, or to seemingly arbitrary changes in the date a holiday is celebrated because it conflicts with another holiday that is based on another calendar, or because the day of the holiday is deemed inauspicious (bad luck). To find out more about these uncertainties, see the footnote below, if any, for each specific religion.

Muslim Holidays : Muslim bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays for Burundi were evaluated using the Umm al-Qura Calendar of Saudi Arabia which is used in Saudi Arabia and in most of the Persian Gulf States. Holidays may occur a day later in countries outside the Gulf region. The sunrises, sunsets, moon phases, moonrises and moonsets used in these calculations are based on the location of Mecca (latitude 21.42°N, longitude, 39.82°E, GMT+3 hours, no summer time rules).
