Why keep it simple when you can make it complicated? The bureaucratic machine never fails as soon as possible. The new exceptional travel certificate was criticized as soon as it was posted online for its complexity.
Now, we are back to square one: a simple proof of address will suffice for trips within a 10 km radius. Couldn’t we have avoided this back-and-forth and shown common sense immediately? Too easy, you might say.
Despite this “considerable simplification” (hallelujah!), the Ministry clarifies that the certificate remains valid and necessary in two cases during the day: if one does not have proof of address in their name, or if one is not confined at home.
It is also essential for traveling after 7 p.m., following the implementation of the curfew for professional or compelling reasons.
