This has occurred especially during the last century when economic globalization has led to integration of regions into economic areas and strong internationalization of labour market. Multinational corporations (MNCs) operating on different world's markets and employing personnel coming from various countries are important parts of the process.

A speed of migration procedure is an important factor influencing a decision of MNCs about investment in particular countries. The government of the Czech Republic is aware of this fact and therefore aims to gain a competitive advantage over other states through creation effective tools supporting migration of highly skilled workers.
