travel permits

Documents allowing passage

Travel permits are official documents authorizing movement across borders, into restricted areas, or during periods when travel is otherwise prohibited.

Governments issue them for various purposes: work visas, transit passes, wartime safe-conduct papers, or access to controlled zones.

You'll need a travel permit to enter the military installation.

The term often implies bureaucratic restriction—permits exist precisely because free movement is denied.
