According to the 2026 Binh Ngo Lunar New Year holiday plan announced by the Ministry of Home Affairs, this year's Tet holiday schedule for officials, civil servants, and public employees lasts 9 consecutive days, while employees working in non-state sectors are entitled to a minimum of 5 days of leave as prescribed.
The Lunar New Year holiday in Binh Ngo 2026 starts from Saturday, February 14, 2026 (ie, December 27 of the year At Ty) and ends on Sunday, February 22, 2026 (ie, January 6 of the year Binh Ngo).
Out of a total of 9 days of holiday, there are 5 days of Tet holiday and 4 weekend days. Because the holiday falls entirely on the days adjacent to Saturday and Sunday, agencies and units do not have to arrange compensatory leave or swap working days.
For employees working in private enterprises, the Lunar New Year 2026 holiday schedule will be decided by the employer, but must ensure that employees have at least 5 consecutive days off according to the provisions of labor law.
A noteworthy point in the 2026 Binh Ngo Tet holiday schedule is that the first day of the holiday coincides with Valentine's Day. This opens up more choices for couples as well as many families in arranging time to enjoy spring, travel and reunite right from the first days of the new year.
With relatively long holidays, workers across the country can rest, return to their hometowns to reunite with their families, or participate in short and long-day domestic and international trips.
