Frequently Asked Questions
How many long weekends are there in Indonesia in 2021?
There are 7 long-weekend periods in Indonesia in 2021. The longest lasts 5 days on 12-16 May 2021, covering Eid al-Fitr 1442 AH and Ascension Day of Jesus Christ / Eid al-Fitr 1442 AH.
What is the official source for the 2021 Indonesia holiday calendar?
The official source is SKB 3 Menteri Nomor 281 Tahun 2021, Nomor 1 Tahun 2021, and Nomor 1 Tahun 2021 ("Perubahan atas Keputusan Bersama Menteri Agama, Menteri Ketenagakerjaan, dan Menteri Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara dan Reformasi Birokrasi Nomor 642 Tahun 2020, Nomor 4 Tahun 2020, Nomor 4 Tahun 2020 tentang Hari Libur Nasional dan Cuti Bersama Tahun 2021", signed in Jakarta on 22 February 2021).
What is the difference between a national holiday and collective leave?
A national holiday is an official day off that applies to everyone, covering religious celebrations and national commemorations. Collective leave (cuti bersama) consists of extra days off set by the Indonesian government to bridge national holidays with weekends. Under the official decree, taking collective leave is deducted from the annual leave entitlement of employees and workers.
What is the legal basis for Indonesian holidays?
Each year the Indonesian government sets national holidays and collective leave through a joint decree (SKB) of the Minister of Religious Affairs, the Minister of Manpower, and the Minister of Administrative Reform. CalendarWorld carries the official data for 2020–2026, taken directly from each year's decree document, including amendment decrees whenever the government revises them.
Can Indonesian Islamic holiday dates change?
Yes. The dates of 1 Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha follow the Minister of Religious Affairs' decision, usually confirmed through an isbat (moon-sighting) session shortly before the date — so the dates on this calendar can shift if a new decision is issued.
