Costa Rica, like the other countries in the Central American region, has been characterized as a migratory corridor for people who transit by land from the south to the north of America and whose destination is the countries in the north of the continent. This flow on the move through the Americas is mainly made up of people from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, Ecuador, as well as people from other countries in South America, Africa and Asia.

According to estimations from IOM Costa Rica, during April 31,049 people entered the country, an approximate average of 1,035 people per day and estimating a decrease of 14% compared to March 2024. In addition, 874 people stranded in the monitored shelters were identified and 939 people stranded in the public places visited.
