Official sources and date status
Recorded confirmation and independent source review are shown separately. An institution-specific notice does not establish closure for every employer or school.
Provisional date under the current framework; annual or lunar confirmation remains pending. Vietnam provides five statutory Tet days and two National Day days; public-sector swaps and surrounding weekends are explained separately.
Office arrangements
Employees receive one paid day on 1 May. Article 111 governs overlap with weekly rest, and any extra government-office swap must be identified separately.
Bank arrangements
Bank schedules commonly address 30 April and 1 May together, but settlement and branch notices should identify each closure and compensatory day accurately.
School arrangements
Academic calendars treat 1 May as its own statutory holiday alongside 30 April and any confirmed compensatory arrangements.
History
International Labour Day on 1 May is listed separately in Article 112 as one paid leave day. Its proximity to the 30 April holiday often creates consecutive statutory dates, but each retains its own identity.
Why it matters
The statutory date and any compensatory day should be distinguished from discretionary working-day swaps or extended government schedules.
Observance
Labour-focused events and the adjoining Reunification Day period shape observance; programmes vary by locality and organisation.
Travel and planning
The back-to-back 30 April and 1 May dates can intensify return travel. Use the confirmed yearly schedule rather than assuming an extra day.
