Can I travel to European Countries with National Visa D?

Best Answer
With a valid Swiss D visa, you can travel in other Schengen countries as if you had a 90/180, multiple-entry Schengen visa.
- You cannot travel to EU countries which are outside the Schengen area (e.g. Ireland, or currently the UK).
- Days spent in Switzerland do not count for the 90/180 rule. Days spent in Schengen countries other than Switzerland count. The 90/180 rule applies over any combination of visa.
- In those Schengen countries, you can do what any business traveller can do -- you can talk about working, but you are not allowed to start working (not even unpaid internships, and not even for a single day).
