Hi All,

I have a visa valid for Poland, Visa Type: D.

Can I travel to Schengen countries for tour...with this visa..?

Below is what I found from one of the site:

Visa for a long stay "Type D"
This visa is valid for a stay of more than 3 months. It is always valid for 1 Schengen-country and authorises the foreigner to transit by a Schengen-country, different than the country of final destination.

But I am not sure whether this is just for transit or can be used for tour as well.

Thanks

Check out this website europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=MEMO/10/111&format=HT ML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en

National type D visas have always enabled passage through other Schengen countries for an amount of time necessary to transit, up to five days. This was in order to enable travellers to reach smaller Schengen countries going through other major destinations in the EU. However, since April 5, 2010 the type D national visa also allows travel to other Schengen countries for up to 90 days within 6 months, the same as a residence permit.

Depending on your country of residence, you can also contact the Polish Embassy for details.

Good luck
