Vietnam adds new paid public holiday from July 1

Vietnamese workers will receive an additional paid day off each year as the country designates November 24 as Vietnam Culture Day.

The National Assembly on April 24 passed a resolution on the development of Vietnamese culture, which will take effect from July 1.

Under the resolution, November 24 will become “Vietnam Culture Day”, with employees entitled to a day off work on full pay.

On this day, visitors may also receive exemptions or reductions in fees at public cultural and sports facilities, subject to decisions by relevant authorities.

The policy also encourages public participation, particularly among young people and children, in cultural activities during major national holidays.
