Can I go back to my native country and come back again with a residence permit and a single entry visa?

I am an Indian and now in Hungary, the visa stamped in my passport is marked as single entry but I have a residence permit valid for 1 year. Can I go back to India and come again with the same visa?

Best Answer

The literal answer to your question is “no”. You cannot come back with the same visa, that's basically what “single entry” means. If you used it to enter the Schengen area, once you leave it isn't valid anymore, period.

But you should in fact be able to enter with a regular residence permit, as long as it's still valid. You could even get a new passport (i.e. without the old visa) and that would still be true. You don't need a visa for that.
