Holiday Schedule

In 2025, the National Day break will last four days, from August 30 to September 2, 2025.

  • August 30 (Saturday) and August 31 (Sunday) are weekends.
  • September 1 (Monday) and September 2 (Tuesday) are official National Day holidays.

Government offices, including the Immigration Department, will temporarily suspend visa approval during this period. Regular processing will resume on September 3, 2025 (Wednesday).

Impact on Visa Applications

  • Visa applications submitted during the holiday will not be processed until September 3, 2025.
  • Applications that are currently “in processing” will also be paused during the break. The remaining processing time will be counted from September 3 onward.
  • Urgent visa services will not be available during these four days.
  • You may still submit your visa application online during the holiday, but the processing time will officially start from September 3, 2025.

Example:
If you apply on August 28, 2025, and the average processing time is 4 working days, the Immigration Department will pause your application during the holiday (August 30 – September 2). This means the earliest approval date will be September 4, 2025.

We strongly recommend that travelers apply in advance to avoid delays around the holiday period.

Final Note

If you are planning to travel to Vietnam during this time, please keep the holiday schedule in mind when submitting your visa application. Preparing early will help ensure a smooth trip.
