Note The values of those born abroad and in Portugal correspond to the year 2001. There will be residents counted who were born in the former Czechoslovakia, before the "velvet revolution" in 1993 to have divided into two independent republics today: the Czech Republic and Slovakia . Therefore, the number of foreign born in the current Republic reflects a change of geopolitical status and no immigration trends.

Note On 1 January 2014, a new Act No 186/2013 Sb, on Czech Citizenship came into effect. The act brought many changes. One of the most substantial changes is that the new legal regulation provides in the full extent for the dual citizenship to exist. Another important change is that it enables to acquire the citizenship of the Czech Republic to the second generation of foreigners living in the Czech Republic by the so-called declaration, i.e. after having met legal conditions a foreigner has a legal claim to the acquisition of the citizenship of the Czech Republic. These changes were reflected also in numbers on acquisition of citizenship in 2014.
