In this sense, the focus is made on characterizing and describing the main guidelines of some strategic policies, indicating the specific access conditions for migrants, including requirements in terms of legal residence.

Additionally, in the conclusions a series of recommendations are made in line with the objectives proposed by the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, in order to alleviate the situation of vulnerability in which part of the migrant population finds itself as a consequence of the socioeconomic implications of the pandemic, in addition to the structural inequalities that already affected this population.
