What is safe passage?

What Does safe passage Mean

It is known as safe conduct to the document granted by a ruler or an authority so that a person can circulate through a certain region without having their passage interrupted for some reason.

The safe conducts were frequent in ancient times. The monarchs gave them to their emissaries so that they were in a position to travel the kingdom with total freedom . These documents, on occasions, were also delivered to the monarchs of other kingdoms to request protection and protection from the person who had the safe conduct.
A king, in this way, could grant a safe-conduct to a merchant so that he could move freely through the kingdom, carrying his merchandise without anyone being able to demand the payment of a tribute or impose other requirements.

Currently some countries also contemplate the possibility of granting safe conduct to certain citizens. Colombia , for example, provides a safe-conduct to foreigners who, in an exceptional situation, need to stay on national soil or leave it.
In the case of Colombia, the safe conduct constitutes a document whose validity is temporary . It is issued by the Special Administrative Unit Migration and allows an individual to avoid an irregular situation in his stay in the nation , until he manages to resolve his stay or his departure from the national territory.
In Chile , the person who moves has to request a pass at a notary. This document is essential to change address and must record both the address that is abandoned and the address that will be the new residence of the subject.
The request for the safe-conduct to change house can be carried out in the civil registry or the notary's office of the commune of residence and its validity only lasts five days from its extension ; it is very important to take this into account to present it on time On the other hand, it is mandatory to request it a maximum of 24 hours before the change of address , another point to consider to avoid problems with the law.
Until November 2007, the institution responsible for delivering the safe-conduct for moving in Chile was Carabineros de Chile (the uniformed police, whose origin took place in April 1927); however, since then it must be requested at the agencies mentioned in the previous paragraph. The law requires the completion of a sworn statement before a notary to record the details of the move, something that is not common in many other countries; In it, it must also be verified that the declarant has no contractual, judicial or legal impediment to effect the change of address.

To obtain this pass, it is necessary to have a well-defined list of documents. Owners must present:
* a photocopy of the deed . Failing that, you have the option of delivering a proof of payment of contributions or a title of domain in which your name appears;
* your identity card.
The tenants must present a much larger number of documents, which are detailed below:
* Authorization from the owner in writing, in which the agreement regarding the transfer must be recorded ;
* Photocopy of the owner's identity card;
* photocopy of the rental agreement;
* In the case of tenants by property broker, they must also have the corresponding Official Letter (it should be noted that in these contracts there is a third party that mediates between both parties, owner and tenant, and who receives a commission for their work);
* the last rent receipt, the one corresponding to the month prior to the moment of move-in;
* In Buildings or Condominiums, it is also necessary to present a certificate stating the absence of delinquency in common expenses;
* receipts for basic services , such as water and electricity.
