Moldova public holidays 2027

What the numbers say about Moldova in 2027

The count uses Saturday and Sunday as the weekly rest days, the standard pattern in Moldova. Only holidays that apply across the whole country are deducted. Someone working in a region with its own extra days will have a little more time off than these figures show.

December is the longest working month with 23 days, and January the shortest with 18. A gap of 5 days is enough to make a fixed monthly target noticeably harder in some months than in others. Across quarters, Q1 is the leanest at 59 working days (January, February, March).

2026 had 250working days, so 2027gives you 1 more working day.Plans copied over from last year without adjusting for that difference will be slightly off from January onwards.

Among the 204 countries we track for 2027, the median number of national holidays is 12. With 16, Moldova sits above the middle of the range, around the 87th percentile (the lowest count this year is 3, the highest 49).

Holidays create 5 stretches of three or more days off in a row. The longest lasts 5 days, from 27 August to 31 August (Independence Day (Moldova), Memorial Day, Limba Noastra (National Language Day)). There are also 2 bridge days: a single working day squeezed between a holiday and the weekend, where one day of leave turns into four or more days away. See every long weekend in 2027.

3 holidays change date compared with 2026: Christmas Day (Orthodox), Easter Sunday, Memorial Day. Movable dates are the ones most often missed when last year's schedule is reused.
