New Year’s Day in Vietnam is a paid public-holiday leave entitlement under Vietnam’s Labour Code. Its statutory timing is 1 January and it commemorates the start of the Gregorian calendar year.
Bank, office and school arrangements require the applicable authority or institution notice. Missing scope data does not mean open.

Official holiday calendar or legal framework
Provisional · Scope: public · Checked 2026-09-29
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.
Employees receive one paid day on 1 January. If it coincides with a weekly rest day, Article 111 provides compensatory rest on the next working day; public bodies may issue operating rosters.
Banks publish New Year branch and interbank-processing times. The statutory one-day entitlement does not establish a longer banking closure.
Schools apply their academic calendars to the one-day holiday and any lawful compensatory rest; it should not be conflated with the Tết break.
The Gregorian New Year entitlement appears in Article 112 of the 2019 Labour Code as one paid day on 1 January. Article 111 separately governs compensatory rest when that day overlaps a weekly rest day.
The statutory date and any compensatory day should be distinguished from discretionary working-day swaps or extended government schedules.
Urban countdowns and family gatherings welcome the civil new year, but this one-day holiday is distinct from the longer Tết lunar-new-year period.
Countdown events may affect city-centre access, while the short break has a different travel pattern from Tết. Check dated operator notices.
Article 112 provides one paid day on 1 January.
Article 111 provides compensatory rest on the next working day.
No. Tết is the separate lunar-new-year entitlement.
