IANA zones · the technical identifiers
The 2 zones that resolve to VST.
For software, always store the IANA identifier — never the abbreviation alone. The database keeps these zones distinct because their rules can, and historically did, diverge.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about VST, daylight saving, and how to handle it in software. Can't find what you need? Email [email protected].
- Why does VST skip daylight saving time?
- After Russia moved away from seasonal clock changes in 2014, Vladivostok settled on a year-round offset, locking UTC+10 into place for both Ust-Nera and Vladivostok—no spring forward, no fall back.
- Is VST still the same as Vladivostok Time today?
- Absolutely. Vladivostok itself sits right at UTC+10, and VST is what the world calls that zone—steady and unmistakable.
- How far ahead of UTC is Ust-Nera right now?
- Ust-Nera ticks along at UTC+10—no tricks, no daylight saving surprises.
- Can I use VST and UTC+10 interchangeably?
- For Ust-Nera and Vladivostok, yes. They both sit at +10 year-round—perfect for clear planning.
- What's unique about these far east Russian cities at +10?
- Their time practically never changes—constant UTC+10, all year, making life and work wonderfully predictable.
- If it's noon in VST, what time is it in UTC?
- Just subtract 10 hours—midnight UTC hits right at 10 AM in Ust-Nera and Vladivostok.
