Recently, the Prime Minister approved the 2018 Tet holiday schedule proposed by the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, following consensus from various departments. All opinions supported the proposal for a 7-day Lunar New Year holiday, including 2 days off before Tet and 5 days off after Tet.

Official Lunar New Year Holiday Schedule for the Year of the Dog 2018
Accordingly, the official Lunar New Year holiday schedule consists of 5 official days off and 2 compensatory days off, totaling 7 days from Wednesday, February 14th, 2018, to Tuesday, February 20th, 2018 (equivalent to the 29th of the last lunar month to the end of the 5th day of Tet).
Specifically, government officials and state employees will take Tet holidays according to the schedule of “2 days before the end of the year of Đinh Dậu and 3 days into the year of Mậu Tuất” without any changes. This means that workers have two days off beforehand to prepare for Tet.
Because the 2nd and 3rd days of Tet Lunar New Year (February 17-18, 2018) fall on Saturday and Sunday, which are regular days off, workers will have compensatory days off on the 4th and 5th days of the Lunar New Year (February 19-20, 2018).
The Lunar New Year holiday in 2018 totals 7 days (February 14-20, 2018).
