Spanish term or phrase: Salvoconducto
Hola colegas y FELIZ NAVIDAD

Este es un término que me pregunta un amigo desde Canadá quien tiene su pasaporte vencido y necesita volver a Bolivia utilizando un "salvoconducto". Encontré la palabra safe-conduct, pero no creo que sea la apropiada aquí.

Se trata de un documento emitido por la embajada en Canada y sirve para un único viaje, y se utiliza en casos excepcionales en lugar del pasaporte.

Mil gracias

Abrazos virtuales a todos

¡Felices fiestas a tí también! Es lo que los estadounidenses llaman ese documento que permite a sus residentes (estadounidenses o inmigrantes) regresar a EEUU si han sobrepasado su estancia o no tienen todo en regla. Claro que Bolivia no va a llamarlo "reentry permit", pero creo que es el documento equivalente. Pregunta en Bolivia si es el caso, de todos modos.

NB: Al principio estaba de acuerdo con "safe-conduct" o "pass" -- es el significado de la palabra, particularmente en zonas militarizadas. Pero todos los ejemplos (Ruanda, etc.) no cuadraban con Bolivia... por otra parte, ha pasado ya a un pariente mío cuyo pasaporte le fue retirado por su consulado estando él en Alemania.
