Is visa type "D" considered Schengen?
I received a Danish long-term visa type "D" in January 2017. I lived in Denmark for 3 months and was able to travel within the Schengen area with the type D visa (also I had work and residence permit).
Currently, I live in the USA and I'm traveling again to Denmark for a short-term visit (20 days). Hence, I am applying for a Schengen visa. On the online application, there is a question.
"Have you had any Schengen visas issued during the past three years? " YES/NO
I guess, my answer should be "YES", because of my previous type D visa. Also, if I answer "YES", I need not provide my biometrics since they were collected when I applied for type D visa in 2017.
Please help me if my understanding is correct.
Best Answer
