⚖️ Legal Regulations

The official list of national holidays and joint leave days for Indonesia is stipulated by a Joint Ministerial Decree (Surat Keputusan Bersama 3 Menteri). The specific decree for 2026 is SKB No. 1497 of 2025, No. 2 of 2025, and No. 5 of 2025, dated 19 September 2025. This decree is issued by the relevant ministers coordinating manpower, religious affairs, and administrative reform.

📰 News

The official holiday list for 2026 was recently decreed by the government in September 2025. Many Islamic holidays are marked with tentative dates, as they are subject to moon sighting confirmations. The list highlights the continued practice of establishing joint holidays to extend major festival periods like Idul Fitri.

💡 Insights

Indonesian work culture strategically creates 'long weekends' by combining national holidays with adjacent weekends and designated joint leave days (cuti bersama). There are reportedly 9 such long weekend opportunities in 2026. School holiday schedules are determined separately by local governments and can be longer than the official national calendar.
