Kazakhstanis will enjoy an extended weekend in honor of Republic Day, which is celebrated annually on October 25. It’s worth noting that this holiday has been a day off since 2022. This year, Republic Day falls on a Friday, allowing Kazakhs with a five-day workweek to enjoy three consecutive days off.

Those who work six days a week will also benefit from an additional day off, but October 26 will be a working day for them. As a result, Kazakhs working a six-day week will only have 5 days off in October.
