I am from Azerbaijan (non-EU country) and work in Estonia. I am holding a resident permit from Estonia (Schengen resident permit). I am wondering which countries (except the ones my passport lets me) a resident permit from the EU and my passport let me travel outside of Europe.

I know which you can go to with a Schengen visa and with my passport. I am wondering if it is the same list for the resident permit as well. Or for the Schengen resident permit, are there more countries which we can travel to without a visa?

  • Your resident permit allows you to travel to the other countries in the Schengen Area. For all other countries you may need a visa. I think that you will need a visa for the most if not all the countries that allow schengen visa holders to travel without an additional visa.

  • @Dirty-flow It seems that you missed a word or two. Your last sentence makes no sence and contradicts itself.

  • @Neusser what I mean is that countries like Bulgaria allows Schengen visa holders to entry and stay for a short period, but they don't allow it for Schengen resident permit holders

  • @Dirty-flow, in the case of Bulgaria, Azerbaijani passport holders can't go there without visa. However, schengen visa holders and resident permit holders can go there without visa

  • @EtibarHasanov do you have a source to confirm that you can enter Bulgaria on a Schengen resident permit?

There are some countries apart from the Schengen countries that would allow you visa-free entry if you hold a valid visa or residence permit issued by the Schengen state (in your case Estonia). These rules also depend on your nationality. Ex: Azerbaijani nationals can go to the Dominican Republic if they hold the visa or residence permit issued by a Schengen state.

You can find the complete list of countries here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_Azerbaijani_citizens

This list keeps on changing, therefore, it is recommended that you contact the respective consulate before making your travel plans.

  • I am familiar with wiki page. However, it doesn't answer my question about "outside of Europe". And wiki page doesn't say anything about resident permit holder. I have the resident permit, not a visa. From where did you find out that Azerbaijani nationals can go Cuba with residence permit issued by a Schengen state.

  • > > It doesn't answer my question about "outside of Europe" >> UK, Georgia, Belarus etc are also in Europe but you cannot go to these countries with your RP or Visa, Do you mean Schengen?

  • Sorry, Cuba was added by mistake there but the Dominican Republic is not in Schengen area and unfortunately, that is that only country(outside Schengen) I can find where you can go with your RP

  • >>and wiki page doesn't say anything about resident permit holder>> In that case Azerbaijani nationals do indeed need a visa for the other countries except Domincan Republic (even after having the Residence Permit issued by the Schengen state) I can show you the list for some other countries where the RP is a bit more useful.

    @ Arpit Bajpai, I am looking for countries oustide of Europae which I can travel with resident permit. Not interested in Europae at all. About Dominican and Mexico and other countries from the list I provided it says " a valid visa issued by a Schengen Member State" . However, I amn't holding Schengen visa, it is a resident permit provided by member state. Do they have the same power?
