It is worth noting that Kazakhstan celebrates Republic Day on October 25. In honor of this national holiday, citizens will have an additional day off in October.
Background: Republic Day is Kazakhstan’s only national holiday. It was established in 1990, when the Declaration of State Sovereignty was adopted. Since 2022, Republic Day has been an official public holiday.
In 2025, October 25 falls on a Saturday, so under the Law “On Holidays”, the day off will be moved to Monday, October 27. Thus, Kazakhstanis will enjoy a three-day weekend:
- October 25 (Saturday) — public holiday;
- October 26 (Sunday) — regular day off;
- October 27 (Monday) — transferred day off.
