Migration

There has been significant migration of Vietnamese people to Poland estimated to be between 30,000-40,000 forming the largest non European migrant community in Poland.

Following the Polish transition to a capitalist economy in 1990, and the reforms of Vietnam at 1986, Poland became a more attractive immigration destination for the Vietnamese people, in particular, small entrepreneurs; this triggered a second, larger wave of Vietnamese immigrants to Poland.[3][7] Many began as vendors in the open air market bazaar at the 10th-Anniversary Stadium selling clothes or cheap food; as of 2005, there were between 1,100 and 1,200 Vietnamese-owned stands in the area.[8][9] As of 2002 in Warsaw there were an estimated 500 Vietnamese restaurants, mostly serving fast food.[8]
