| Jan 2, 2018 at 20:10 | comment | added | phoog | @cleo456 Italian law is not bypassing EU law here. If Italian law requires you to remain in Italy for your pending application to remain valid, for example, then that doesn't have any bearing on whether you have authorization to enter another Schengen country (or indeed any other country whatsoever). | |
| Jan 2, 2018 at 13:07 | comment | added | cleo456 | @phoog Because of the Italian law, as far as I know. With the pending application, they don't let the applicant go around. Though, I don't understand how Italian law can bypass EU law.. But nothing mentioned about the case of having another visa. Anyway, thanks for all your replies, I will try to reach to the officials, and will post here if i can manage to get any proper answer. | |
| Dec 29, 2017 at 16:55 | comment | added | phoog | @cleo456 I think you need to find out why it's not allowed. If it's not allowed because of the pending residence permit application, then having a C visa won't help. If it's not allowed because they assume that you lack a valid D visa, then the assumption is false and you can travel elsewhere in Schengen, but the C visa still doesn't help. In other words, do they imagine it's not allowed because of Italian law or because of EU law? | |
| Dec 29, 2017 at 14:38 | comment | added | cleo456 | @phoog so i still need to figure out if C visa is still valid. i tried to ask embassies but either they don't know or they don't pick up. | |
| Dec 29, 2017 at 14:33 | comment | added | cleo456 | @phoog the web site says: The same facilitated procedure is granted to foreigners who have submitted their application for their first residence permits for employment, self-employment, or family reunification, provided that: ... - they do not transit through other Schengen countries, as this is not allowed. | |
| Dec 29, 2017 at 12:58 | comment | added | phoog | @cleo456 you can go to other Schengen countries with the D visa. Nothing on the page you linked to contradicts that. | |
| Dec 29, 2017 at 10:44 | comment | added | cleo456 | But i don't know whether the issuance of D visa caused my C visa to get invalidated (because both are issued by Italy). And if the C visa is invalid, it means I am not able to travel to other schengen countries. I may even need to apply for a schengen visa from another country in order to be able to move around schengen zone. | |
| Dec 29, 2017 at 10:42 | comment | added | cleo456 | Applying for a residence permit doesn't invalidate my D visa, yes that's right. D visa itself is the one that lets me stay in Italy for 1 year, so in this time period I can do the procedures to get the residence card. | |
| Dec 29, 2017 at 9:57 | comment | added | Tor-Einar Jarnbjo | @cleo456 The web page you are lnking to states correctly, that you are not allowed to enter other Schengen states only holding an Italian receipt for your residence permit application. It does not say that applying for a residence permit invalidates your D visa, with which you (independent of Italian law) is entitled to enter other Schengen states as if you had a C visa. | |
| Dec 29, 2017 at 8:49 | comment | added | cleo456 | Unfortunately not. As I mentioned on my reply to @phoog 's comment, the italian law doesn't let the first-time applicants to go around schengen zone even with the receipt issued by the Italian post office after the application for "permesso di soggiorno". So C type visa would make the difference at this point when I go some other country in schengen zone. But i can't really confirm if it's still valid or not. Some resources say after the second visa was issued, the first one loses its validity; some say it is still valid. | |
