Student Visa

Sir,
I am an indian student in france on an exchange program for 6 months uptil december.I am currently in Albi.On my visa, the stamp says France (+1 transit Schenegen). and its a type D Visa.Also, another stamp on the visa says "dispense temporaire de carte de sejour". I would like to know if it is possible for me to travel to other Schengen countries on this Visa.if not, is there a way i would be able to procure a permission so that i can travel to other schengen countries during my stay here in France??

Hoping for a swift Reply

Hello,

With the kind of visa you currently hold, i am of the view that you may travel within the Schengen area without requiring an extra visa, provided you don't exit the Schengen area within the course of your journey or, if you do, that you reenter the Schengen area via France. To avoid any problem, the best solution is to get a student resident permit in France.

Regards.
