Can I travel while waiting for my permanent residence permit ?

[john06]

Hello.
As a foreigner, can I travel to a European country (Shengen area) while waiting for my permit to be processed and my previous extended permit has expired ?
Or not ?

Please provide me an official link, if you can.

Thank you.

Are you a visa free national?

” If you are a foreign national free of visa you may stay in Finland and Schengen area for a maximum period of 90 days. Other foreign nationals must leave Finland when the residence permit expires. Residence permits cannot be granted for holiday travel.”

I read everything in that link.
That is the link that should answer my question, indeed. But it does not.

No, you generally cannot travel to a Schengen country while waiting for your permit to be processed if your previous permit has expired. It's advisable to wait until you receive your new permit before traveling to avoid legal complications.

You are right. Thank you.

Why do you think so when the quote I already linked says otherwise?

If you are from a country that can visit Schengen countries visa-free then yes you can come and go.

The problem is when you are from a country that doesn’t have visa-free arrangement with Schengen. Because when you leave Finland, you can not enter without rp or without visa.
