Vietnam teacher retirement age adjustments for 2027

In 2027, the retirement age for teachers in Vietnam will continue to adjust according to the established roadmap. For those working under normal conditions, the retirement age is set at 61 years and 9 months for men and 57 years and 4 months for women.

However, specific regulations allow certain teachers to retire up to five years early. These four eligible categories include:

• Teachers with at least 15 years of experience in heavy, toxic, or dangerous working conditions. • Teachers with at least 15 years of service in areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions. • Teachers with a working capacity reduction of 61% or higher. • Teachers whose combined time working in particularly difficult areas and in heavy or toxic conditions totals at least 15 years.
