If your husband participates in the compulsory social insurance scheme in Vietnam, he will be entitled to paternity leave under the following circumstances:

- Five working days if you give birth via vaginal delivery;

- Seven working days if you undergo a cesarean section or give birth before 32 weeks of pregnancy;

- Ten working days if you give birth to twins, plus three additional working days for each child from the third onward;

- Fourteen working days if you give birth to twins via cesarean section, plus three additional working days for each child from the third onward.

Paternity leave must be taken within 60 days from the date of childbirth. If the leave is split into multiple intervals, the first day of the final leave must still fall within this 60-day period, and the total leave duration must not exceed the entitlement mentioned above.

The paternity leave period is considered a period of social insurance contribution. During this period, no social insurance contributions are required from either your husband or his employer.
