Student visa

Hello,

I have a couple of questions and i wonder if someone could help me.

I am a Colombian student and I have the 'Long sejour' student visa(for up to six months), however, i would like to go to the world cup in germany and i would like to know if I could travel to other schengen countries.

What would I have to do to go to germany or other countries? can I obtain the schengen visa in Lyon?

Thanks for any help

Hello,

Provided you have obtained a residency card (as a student for instance) in one of the Schengen countries, you don't need a visa to travel in another Schengen country.

Hello,

Do you know how easy is to obtain the residency card? can I get it in Lyon?

Thanks for your answer.

Hello,

As you have "long séjour" visa (type D, i assume), you should have gotten your residency card already from the Préfecture where you reside.

hello,

I do have a type D visa, however, at the bottom it says: "dispense temporaire de carte de sejour". What do i have to do to be able to travel to other schengen countries?

Can I obtain the schengen visa in France? what suggestions do you have?

Thanks again for any help.

Hello,

I believe the visa you are holding allows you to travel in the Schengen area. Besides there are no border controls within the Schengen area.

However, as Schengen regulations seems unclear about this particular type of national document (the one you have), i recommend that you doublecheck with your local Préfecture.
