Schengen type D Visa restriction for staying out
I have a dependent Schengen type D Visa from Netherlands for 3yrs multi entry. Is there a restriction for staying out of Netherlands. I am from India and plan to visit my spouse like for 2 weeks every 4-5 months and then return back to India.
Best Answer
No, Schengen visas use explicit restrictions rather than implicit restrictions so whatever time limits you have would be directly listed on the visa itself or in the Schengen laws. Outside of what's stated on your cisa the only limit is the 90/180 rule, but this only applies to C visa holders or D visa holders traveling outside their country of residency.
If your D visa doesn't have any special limits listed, then you can hop in and out as much as you want to.
