Holy Week 2027: Singapore to PH
File 25 March for four days off. File 22–25 March for nine. Good Friday, 26 March, is already a Singapore public holiday.
For Monday–Friday employees with Saturday–Sunday off, Good Friday observed on 26 March, and approved leave. A different roster or substituted holiday changes the totals.
Which dates should you file?
| Working days to request | Time off in 2027 |
|---|---|
| None | 26–28 March · 3 days |
| 25 March · 1 day | 25–28 March · 4 days |
| 22–25 March · 4 days | 20–28 March · 9 days |
All three options return to work on Monday, 29 March.
The nine-day option combines two weekends, four leave days and Good Friday. These are days away from work; flights and onward travel use part of them.
Why file Thursday?
Maundy Thursday, 25 March, is a Philippine holiday but a Singapore workday. Filing it lets you start your break with the PH holiday stretch: Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Black Saturday, 25–27 March.
That lines up the dates, not everyone's availability. Relatives working shifts may still be on duty.
Not on a Monday–Friday schedule?
Use your actual rest days instead. Domestic workers, seafarers, statutory-board employees and civil servants are outside Singapore's Employment Act; these leave totals are not automatic entitlements for those jobs.
For other dates, see the Singapore 2027 calendar.
