5. 2027 Vietnam Public Holiday Radar
Immigration offices & embassy processing close completely on official holidays. Check if your travel overlaps.
| Holiday Name | 2027 Date | Duration | Risk Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Year’s Day | Jan 1 | 1 Day | Moderate |
| Lunar New Year (Tết) | Feb 4 – Feb 10 | 7 Days | Critical High |
| Hùng Kings’ Festival | Apr 16 | 1 Day | Moderate |
| Reunification & Labor Weekend | Apr 30 – May 3 | 4 Days | High |
| National Day | Sep 2 – Sep 3 | 2 Days | High |
During official holidays (especially Tết in February and Apr 30–May 3), standard E-Visa queues halt entirely.
If your flight falls during or immediately after a national holiday, applying for standard processing will result in severe delays. Emergency holiday VOA approval service is required to override queue backlogs.
