How does e-visitor actually work? From what I can tell, it’s designed for landlords and short-term rentals.

So I can't use this to register my mom and grandma? They're staying with me because their place isn't structurally sound after the earthquake.
I don't see why she’d be pushing to cram them into some rental when we have more than enough room right here at home.
We’re just another municipality.

Mom needs to head over to the old apartment to grab some stuff, but I have no clue what kind of gate pass we should be requesting for her.

Initially, they claimed it was impossible to obtain.

Idiots.

I have no idea what these people are even talking about. You haven't been able to register on the e-government portal for ages now.

My ex drove to my county this past Saturday to pick up our kid without even having a permit yet (he requested one, but it hasn't been issued). I pulled up to the checkpoint, told them where he was headed, and the officer just gave him the green light. He just waved him through.

Then on Sunday, he brings our little one back—again, no permit, and zero issues.

Look, don't get me wrong; I think it’s perfectly fine. Nobody can argue with a parent wanting to look after their child when they have legal visitation rights. He absolutely could have secured a "childcare" permit to make it official, but the point is, they let him pass without one.

We actually live in Washington, D.C., but we’ve been staying strictly isolated because of the baby, both back home and out here. Is it okay for us to head back to our place in D.C. since that's our official residence? I’m pretty sure that’s how it works based on what I've heard, but please confirm.

You can.

I work and live in one place, but on paper, I'm registered somewhere else.
The official recommendation is to register your temporary residence through the government portal so you can actually move between where you live and where you're officially registered. But registering a temporary stay is impossible right now because the police are only handling emergencies.🤦 It’s like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
Easter is coming up, and I want to go visit my family at my permanent address. I'll probably make the trip there, but then I won't be able to get back to where I actually live and work because I don't have a permit. There's no way for me to get one, and I can't even register my current residence.
I honestly don't know who's crazier here.

The solution is simple.
Just ask your employer to issue you a travel permit from your home address to your work location. It’s a simple request to ensure you can get to where you live and work. Honestly, it couldn't be any easier than that.

You're entitled to that, since your registered residence doesn't match where you actually work.

Noah Thomas72 said:I have a question for anyone who might happen to know the specifics regarding pass issuance: here’s the situation—I don't actually live at my registered primary residence, even though my job is located in that same city. I’m currently living in a neighboring town, and I need a pass just to commute to work. Is it possible for my employer to issue one? When I use the online portal to apply, it asks me to enter an address; can I simply input the address where I am actually staying, even if it doesn't match what's on my ID?
By the way, I realize I’m entirely to blame for not updating my official address sooner, but hey, it is what it is. 😵

You can.

How could you possibly not get it? Being with someone you love isn't exactly a matter of life or death (sarcasm)

You can't even change your residence right now. If you manage to get into Washington, D.C., you're free to stay and move around there—for the time being.

Mark Alvarez said:Just a heads-up for anyone wondering—you can actually log in to eCitizen using the mToken app, a card reader, or even a mobile token via #withKEY (Bank of America), and I'm pretty sure most other major banks work too. Accepted credentials.

Sure, but don't you have to register the service with FIN first?

James Chavez91 said:I actually had to laugh at my buddy's situation.
His girlfriend has been living with him for five years now, yet her official address is still listed at her parents' place—apparently, they’re waiting until they actually get married to deal with all the paperwork, change of address, and everything else...

So, if she heads out to the grocery store, she can't exactly head "home"—she has to go back to her folks, and if she wants to get home, she needs an e-Passport. It's quite a show 🤣

Here's the takeaway from the link above:

On the flip side, the Decision doesn't cover every single scenario. For instance, one woman from the town of Dugopolj is still formally registered at her parents' place, even though she's actually been living in Podstrana with her boyfriend for years. Her job is in Dugopolj, and since that's where she's officially registered, she couldn't get permission from her employer to leave the area. Consequently, the Podstrana Civil Protection headquarters spent a few days dealing with this totally normal—yet unforeseen—mess.

So, it is possible. But apparently, in the municipality of Dugopolj or at CZ Črnomerec, it isn't. There you have it.

Thanks!

My mom and grandma are staying with me outside of Washington, D.C. because their apartment isn't safe to live in after the earthquake. My mom actually asked a police officer what would happen if she moved back to her permanent residence, and the officer told her she’d have to go into a two-week self-isolation

What a possible? That sounds completely insane to me
If she was just staying with family, and none of us are in quarantine, sick, or coming from some high-risk area—meaning she didn't fly in from another country or anything—then why on earth would there be any isolation?

Brian Torres2 said:Thanks. I see some people actually have them.
I'm trying to get word from FEMA.

God, I hope I can pull this off. I'm just praying they let me swing by my place in Washington, D.C., to grab some work stuff and all the paperwork I need for something...

Good luck with that.
Two different local emergency offices told me "only childcare or elderly care counts as a valid reason." I pretty much tore one of them a new one.

Please let me know if you pull it off; I'm genuinely curious.

Joseph Taylor11 said:Excerpt:

- To actually serve the public, the order restricting travel from one's residence should have been drafted better. They should define residential areas based on former county lines rather than current ones. This means places like Miami, Kaštela, and Solin—including Podstrana—should be treated as one single unit. Similarly, Brač should be its own entity, followed by Trogir, Marina, Okrug, and Seget, then the Makarska Riviera...

There's no logic in trapping folks in villages of 80 people while everyone in Washington, D.C. can zip around freely. I believe this decision needs to be fixed and adjusted to reflect how people actually live.

This is something the Government, if not Congress, should handle, not FEMA. We're talking about limiting a constitutional right to freedom of movement. While such a measure might be justified, it has to follow proper procedure, and the decision could have gone into effect immediately.

The bolded part: Someone basically wrote out, almost word-for-word, what I’ve been sending in my emails (to a few specific addresses...).

I'm glad if this helps clear up these ridiculous inconsistencies—but you don't have to come over and sing on my balcony about it... 😛☕

This.

I don't think anyone here thinks people should be wandering around like the virus doesn't exist. We just want the rules to make sense and the inconsistencies removed.

A Washington, D.C. resident can stroll around Jarun without a second thought, yet I can't even head into downtown Zaprešić to handle business without having to explain my life story to some local official and praying they feel merciful.
It's degrading.

Nobody is advocating for aimless strolling.

Joseph Taylor11 said:When I brought this up before, I got pretty chewed out by some people on here. So now, I mostly just lurk. I read everything, but I stay quiet. Still, I felt like I really needed to make this point.

I'm with you on that.

I'm betting this lasts through June, maybe even longer.

Based on some twisted logic, if you don't have anyone to leave it with, you're out of luck—but honestly, it's probably worth double-checking just to be safe.

I’m trying to figure out how things work with separated parents. If neither parent is sick or under quarantine, can the other parent pick up their child and then bring them back later?
I mean, who exactly is going to stop me from seeing my kid when we have a 50/50 custody agreement with their dad?

God, what a mountain of nonsense

restlessbear10 said:Does anyone happen to know how long this measure is supposed to last? The fact that my mom is living 9.3 miles far away in a different state—and who knows when I'll actually be able to see her again—combined with the fact that everything depends entirely on my neighbors and relatives, is honestly starting to get to me quite a bit.

Can't you just apply for an exemption based on family needs? You explain why it's necessary, give them a timeframe, and I don't see why they wouldn't approve it.

I’d definitely apply
And if they actually had the nerve to deny it when you clearly have to take care of a family member...

Joseph Taylor11 said:I don't know if I've already made this clear—I'm pretty sure I have—but let me say it one more time: I don't care about being bored. It’s not a problem for me that I can't hang out with anyone... I don't mind missing out on coffee dates or trips to the hair salon. Honestly, I could sit at home for another month if that's what it takes.

But I do want the ability to at least pop into the nearby grocery store to grab some bread every other day, and I need to be able to hit up a larger supermarket once a week to stock up on essentials—you know, things like fresh fruit, veggies, and meat at the kind of places I've always shopped, all at normal, reasonable prices.

For crying out loud—is that really so hard to wrap your head around?!

And while we're talking about money:
Everything at the local corner store is marked up by 30-50%.
So, how long am I expected to keep shopping like this? Two weeks? Two months?

And nobody seems to see the issue here? 🤦

I once had a Woman from Washington, D.C. tell me that if public transit gets cut, it's my own fault for not driving a car. Then, when movement was restricted, she basically said it was my fault for choosing to live in a small town that lacks the necessary infrastructure.

I finally snapped and told her that people from the big cities should just shut up and stay out of it because they clearly have no clue what they're talking about.

The worst part is they actually support this absolute nonsense of a policy because they have zero concept of what it's like to live under these conditions.
