For those who can't wait to plan their vacations, here is the complete list of national holidays and joint leave days for 2025.

1. Determination of National Holidays and Collective Leave 2025

The government has officially announced the national holidays and collective leave for the year 2025 through the Joint Decree of 3 Ministers signed on October 14, 2024, involving the Minister of Religious Affairs, the Acting Minister of Manpower, and the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform.

In this decision, the public will enjoy a total of 27 days off, consisting of 17 national holidays and 10 collective leave days, providing more opportunities for everyone, especially civil servants, to celebrate religious holidays with their families.

This Joint Decree serves as an important legal basis, ensuring that religious celebrations and national moments can be observed solemnly, while collective leave does not reduce the annual leave rights of civil servants, although private employees must follow their respective company policies.

2. Details of National Holidays 2025

The national holidays in 2025 encompass various religious celebrations and national events. The details are spread over several months, starting from January to December, with the peak number of holidays in January, April, and May. Here is the complete list:

• January 2025: There are three holidays, namely New Year (January 1), Isra Mi'raj (January 27), and Lunar New Year (January 29).
• March 2025: Holidays in this month include the Holy Day of Nyepi (March 29) and Idulfitri (March 31).
• April 2025: This is the month with the most holidays, including Idulfitri on April 1, and Good Friday (April 18).
• May 2025: International Labor Day (May 1), Vesak Day (May 12), and Ascension of Jesus Christ (May 29).

3. Joint Leave Schedule 2025

In addition to national holidays, the government has established 10 days of joint leave. This joint leave schedule provides additional time off that usually coincides with religious holidays. Here are the details of the joint leave:

• January 2025: Joint leave for Lunar New Year falls on January 28.
• April 2025: Joint leave for Idulfitri lasts for five days, from April 2 to April 7.
• May 2025: May 13 is designated as joint leave for Vesak Day, and May 30 for the Ascension of Jesus Christ.

The establishment of this joint leave provides flexibility for the community, especially for those who wish to take advantage of the extended time for long-distance travel.

4. Implications of Holiday Policy for Civil Servants and Private Employees

The joint leave policy has different impacts for civil servants and private employees. According to Presidential Decree Number 4 of 2022, Civil Servants (ASN) still have the right to their full annual leave entitlement, unaffected by joint leave.

However, for private employees, the situation is more complicated; they must carefully check their respective company policies, as Minister of Manpower Decree Number 3 of 2022 states that joint leave may reduce annual leave rights, depending on the applicable internal regulations.

5. How to Make the Most of a Long Holiday

Thorough holiday planning is the key to maximizing long holidays. Here are some tips that can help you:

• Plan Your Schedule Well in Advance: Deciding on destinations and holiday dates early helps avoid price hikes for tickets and accommodations.
