Born in Portugal
Note There will be residents counted who were born in former Czechoslovakia, before the "velvet revolution" in 1993 divided it into two, nowadays, independent republics: the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Therefore, the number of foreign born in present-day Slovakia reflects a change in geopolitical status and no immigration trends; The values for the population born in Portugal and abroad refers to individuals who are cumulatively foreign (i.e., do not possess Slovak nationality), thus excluding those who, having been born in Portugal, may have acquired Slovak nationality. The values of those born abroad and in Portugal refer to 1 January of the years presented, and there was a series break in 2005.
