Will Uzbekistan Announce an Additional Holiday for Navruz?

There will be no additional public holiday for Navruz this year, as stated by lawyer Xushnudbek Xudoyberdiyev on his Telegram channel. He emphasized that no official decree has been issued to extend the holiday period for 2025.

Navruz holiday schedule in 2025:
March 21 (Friday) – official holiday, a day off for everyone
March 22 (Saturday) – a day off for 5-day workweek employees, a working day for 6-day workweek employees
March 23 (Sunday) – regular weekend day

This means that only March 21 will be an official public holiday, and no extra days off have been announced.

Xushnudbek Xudoyberdiyev also pointed out that some media outlets and bloggers are falsely claiming that "official extra holidays have been granted for Navruz", but no such official document has been issued. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
