The 3 weekend-falling public holidays in 2027 are absorbed into the regular Saturday and Sunday count, so the working-day reduction comes only from the 8 weekday-falling entries. Vietnam observes 11 statutory public holiday days under Article 112 of the Labour Code 2019. Tet (Lunar New Year) is the longest single closure at 5-9 days when adjacent weekends are pulled in. Hung Kings Commemoration Day (10th day of 3rd lunar month) and National Day (September 2-3) anchor the civil calendar.
