That being stated, I can understand that I can only enter EU from the Czech Republic. However, will I be able to travel across Schengen States using my student visa? I know that there is no passport control while visiting an EU country, but if the police of that country requires an ID:

  2. Can the visa in the passport cause trouble like I visited the country illegally?
