Number of foreigners living in Czechia 1993-2023
The number of foreign citizens with permanent or long-term residency in Czechia increased in the observed period. In 1993, only 77 thousand foreigners lived in Czechia; this figure rose to over 1.06 million in 2023. The significant increase between 2021 and 2022 was due to the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees fleeing their country because of the Russian invasion.
