> _ **Going to another EU country during my long-term stay – more than 90 days** _
> 
> When you stay in an EU country for a long stay, usually for more than 90 days, you will generally be issued with a long-stay visa and/or a residence permit.
> 
> If your long-stay visa or residence permit has been issued by a Schengen area country, you can travel to another Schengen area country for 90 days per 180 day period. You must:
> 
> - justify the purpose of your stay;
> - have sufficient financial resources for your stay and travel back;
> - not be considered a threat to public policy, public security or public health.
> 
> You can also pass through other Schengen area countries on the way to your host country.
> 
> To move from one EU country to another for more than 90 days, you will need a long-stay visa or a residence permit for that country. If you wish to work, study or join your family in the second country, you may have to fulfil more conditions.
