For the Schengen area there is a 'uniform short-stay visa'
policy: you can travel through the whole area with the same visa.
National long-term visas from a member state only allow
to transit through the territory of the other member states. Under
special circumstances, if it is a Schengen state, this visa may be valid
as a uniform short-stay visa during 3 months from the date of validity
of the visa.
The Commission presented a proposal that introduces a special
travel authorization, which would enable third-country nationals
to stay up to six months in the territory of the Member States on
condition that the stay in one Member State does not exceed three
months.
