In the second half of the twentieth century saw a rapid development of the Vietnamese immigration to the Czech Republic (formerly Czechoslovakia). Today, as a result of migration, the Vietnamese constitute one of the largest ethnic minority groups in the Czech Republic. This is a group with a specific position and character. On one side, the Vietnamese community has a typical immigrant character, and on the other side, since 2013 Vietnamese people are considered to as a national minority. Therefore, their situation could described as a state of suspension between isolation and integration.

Recently, the issue of intercultural relations between immigrants and the host society has been widely discussed. Taking into account the increasing spatial mobility of non-EU foreigners, it seems highly important to examine their relations with the host community on the local level. This article presents the results of the qualitative study conducted in the first quarter of 2014 in the Lesznowola municipality (Mazowieckie province, Piaseczno district) in Poland. It aims at analysing the situation of the Vietnamese community and its engagement in the local life of the municipality and examine attitudes of both Vietnamese and Poles towards prospects for granting local voting rights to migrants in Poland. Through several years of successful business and social cooperation, the Vietnamese immigrants have become a recognisable part of the social landscape of the municipality. The degree of social and political participation at the local level on the part of the Vietnamese community has also increased, which can be observed, for example, through such practical indicator as cooperation with local educational institutions. Therefore, we can argue that the Vietnamese community has been transforming itself from a marginalised and self-sufficient homogeneous group into more and more self-aware and active socio-political group of actors.
