Czech Republic

Over the last few years, the Czech Republic has experienced net immigration of foreign nationals. The country is mainly a destination for temporary legal and irregular labour migrants from post-communist countries (Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine) as well as from Vietnam and China. Irregular migrant activities have recently become important features of the Czech economy and society, an environment that is highly tolerant to undeclared work.
