Vietnamese people in Poland (Polish: Wietnamczycy w Polsce; Vietnamese: Người Việt tại Ba Lan) form one of the ethnic minorities in Poland.[3] The Vietnamese-Polish community is the fourth-largest Vietnamese community in the European Union, after France, Germany, and Czechia, although its numbers are difficult to estimate, with common estimates ranging from 40,000 to 50,000 (2022).[1][2] They are Poland's largest immigrant community whose culture is not European,[2] and are sometimes perceived by the Polish public as being one of the largest minorities in Poland;[4] the factual verification of that claim is difficult due to lack of precise data.[5] While enjoying economic success and, along with other immigrants, perceived as a competition in the workforce, the Vietnamese community is regarded positively in Poland.[3]
