The schedule now includes the Christmas holiday and 9 long weekends in 2026, allowing people to plan their holiday schedules in advance. Constitution Day (Christmas) on Dec 25 will be a holiday this year. International travelers may also consider avoiding these times when visiting Taiwan.
Taiwan’s 9 Long Weekends in 2026:
Lunar New Year Holiday: Feb 14 – Feb 22 (9 days)

The above data is based on the government’s published 2026 calendar, with makeup workday requirements removed. This calendar applies to government agencies. For private enterprises, holidays are handled through negotiation between labor and management in accordance with the Labor Standards Act and other regulations.
According to Article 37 of the Labor Standards Act, if a working day agreed upon by both parties falls on a statutory holiday, the worker must be granted leave. If a statutory holiday falls on a worker’s statutory regular leave or rest day, a makeup holiday must be given on another working day; the timing of the makeup holiday is to be negotiated between the employer and the employee.

Ang datos sa itaas ay batay sa inilabas na kalendaryo ng gobyerno para sa 2026, kung saan inalis na ang mga patakaran sa makeup workdays. Ang kalendaryong ito ay para sa mga ahensya ng gobyerno. Para sa mga pribadong kumpanya, ang mga holiday ay dapat pag-usapan ng employer at empleyado alinsunod sa Labor Standards Act at iba pang regulasyon.
Ayon sa Article 37 ng Labor Standards Act, kung ang napagkasunduang araw ng trabaho ay tumapat sa isang statutory holiday, dapat bigyan ng leave ang manggagawa. Kung ang statutory holiday ay tumapat sa statutory regular leave o rest day ng manggagawa, kailangang magbigay ng makeup holiday sa ibang araw ng trabaho; ang oras ng makeup holiday ay pag-uusapan ng employer at empleyado.
