When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in São Paulo and Ho Chi Minh City don't overlap on the same weekday. Ho Chi Minh City is 10 hours ahead of São Paulo.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 7 AM–10 AM in São Paulo (5 PM–8 PM in Ho Chi Minh City) — suggest 8:00 AM São Paulo (6:00 PM Ho Chi Minh City).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
