In practice, I suspect officers just don't check those conditions very closely for people with D visas. | |

| Nov 18, 2019 at 22:49 | comment | added | Norrius | @phoog Thank you for the commend. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any direct confirmation of that in the EU legislation (perhaps it's considered obvious?). This quote was to illustrate that this should work even in the absence of a passport (but if you still have the visa, i.e. it's on a separate paper). If your travel documents are in order, you should have absolutely no problem crossing the Schengen border. | |
| Nov 17, 2019 at 22:36 | comment | added | phoog | Thanks for posting a better supported answer than mine. I would underscore that the paragraph you cite applies only to people who don't meet the requirements for visitors. Someone who does meet those requirements is not limited to transit, but may instead visit, whether they are in transit to or from the country issuing the visa or not. This is frequently misunderstood or overlooked, so it deserves extra emphasis. | |
