  9. Strategic Objectives • To implement migration controls through optimum operative systems with proactive, productive staff with career development opportunities, with the purpose of meeting the needs of users in an efficient manner. • To foster the country’s development by granting residence status to foreign nationals whose skills and knowledge contribute to the development of the country. • To maximize the use of the resources of the institution through optimizing work processes, implementing the use of technology, and establishing a structure which enables the institution to function appropriately.  

  10.

  12. The Commitment of Costa Rica: Costa Rica seeks and commits to working toward the integration ofmigrants. Legalization is parallel to its contribution to the sustainability of public services.
