Chapter VI - Permits to Travel into Other Countries

1. And should someone wish to travel for trade purposes or other private matters from the Muscovite state into a foreign country which is on peaceful terms with the Muscovite state, such person in Moscow must petition the Tsar, and in [other] cities [petitions are to be addressed to the local] voevodas for a travel permit. Without a travel permit no person should travel. Voevodas in cities must issue travel permits without delays.
