Latin America & the Caribbean Migration Portal

This is the first comprehensive website that tracks immigration policy developments in Latin America and the Caribbean, presenting authoritative research, data, and analysis from MPI, governments, international organizations, researchers, and civil society. As the region is tested by massive outflows from Venezuela, as well as movements from Nicaragua and elsewhere, get access to the most relevant research, analysis, and data. The Migration Portal is in English and Spanish.

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Governments around the world turned to migration management tools—such as border closures, travel restrictions, and in a few cases bars on new asylum applications—initially in hopes of keeping the COVID-19 virus from entering their countries, and later at the pandemic stage as part of a wider suite of mobility restrictions. MPI's reports, data, and commentary on migration responses to the pandemic are collected here.
