Governing Law: The official list of public holidays in Vietnam is regulated by the Labour Code of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the revised Article 73 of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam’s Labor Code, as most-recently amended in 2012. • Weekend Public Holidays: When a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it is to be observed publicly on the following Monday. • Gio To Hung Vuong: is a new public holiday to commemorate the legendary Hung Kings, voted upon by the Vietnamese National Assembly on March 23, 2007. According to the law of record, law No 84/2007/QH11 replacing clause 73 of the Labour Code, when Gio To Hung Vuong falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it shall be moved to the following Monday . • Other major anniversaries that are celebrated but are not national public holidays are: The Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party: February 3. The Birthday of President Ho Chi Minh: May 19. Christmas Day: December 25. • In comparison with other countries in the region, Vietnam has the fewest holidays with 9 legal days off annually while Indonesia and Thailand have 13 days, the Philippines 12 and China 10. • Vietnam International Codes VN and VNM (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .vn (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of Vietnam information and news: UnitedHealthcare Global (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (Vietnam maps, demographics and economic statistics), the IFES (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and voter participation in Vietnam), and Wikipedia (includes Vietnam 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 Vietnam, may belong to a religious group that is not common in Vietnam, 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 Vietnam.

Religious Holidays : Public holidays in Vietnam 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.

Vietnamese Calendar Public Holidays : Both traditional Vietnamese calendars used in Vietnam (solar and lunar) possess a structure very similar to their Chinese counterparts. However, the Vietnamese calendars use Vietnam's time zone as a reference point, rather than Beijing's, to determine the date when a Vietnamese lunar calendar or Vietnamese Solar Calendar event occurs. This sometimes causes some holidays based on either of the Vietnamese calendars to occur one day earlier than the corresponding Chinese date (this occurs, on average, in about 4% of the cases).
