Can I visit other countries with just my Italian carta di soggiorno?
I have an Italian carta di soggiorno. What countries can I travel to with just this card? Can I travel to Edinburgh or Ireland? I'm told that if you have a carta di soggiorno to stay long term in the EU, you don’t need a visa to travel to Ireland.
Best Answer
Your Italian residence permit allows you to travel within the Schengen area and to the Schengen-candidate EU members (Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, and Romania). It does not allow you to travel to the United Kingdom (where Edinburgh is), nor to Ireland.
There is an exception to this that applies only if the following are true:
- The card states that it was issued because you are the family member of a European Union citizen.
- You are traveling with your EU-citizen family member or joining him or her.
