The residence permit as an alternative to the visa?

On the basis of the Schengen Convention, now integrated in the EU framework, a valid residence permit from a Schengen State, together with a travel document, can substitute for a visa. Thus, a third-country national presenting his/her passport and a valid residence permit issued by a Schengen State can be allowed to enter another Schengen State for a short stay without needing a visa. This equivalence does not apply to residence permits issued by the United Kingdom and Ireland, since they do not apply the Schengen acquis (although they requested to apply some of the provisions on police and judicial co-operation in criminal matters).

Thus, family members who are not EU nationals do not require an entry visa when travelling alone if they reside in a country that implements the Schengen acquis and wish to travel to another Schengen country. Such family members may travel freely and without a visa within the Schengen area, provided they are in possession of their identity document and an EU residence permit.
