Can I travel to other EU countries with my Polish Karta Pobytu?

I have a Karta Pobytu in Poland for one years because i have a wife in Poland
do i can travelling for another country member in Union Europa like France or Germany or Italy without any problem.
im Algerian
need your answer please and thx ;;))

you can travel but you need to have permission for work in union

It depends on your visa type.

Yep.

The Karta Pobytu effectively acts as a 3 month tourist visa in other EU countries.

However, not all countries accept this - best practice is to stay within the Schengen zone.

i has visa D to enter Poland and now i get this card for 1 years , so i will can going without any problem ?
i want travelling only in union zone Schengen with my wife for working

You can't work there but you can go there.

You will need to apply for a residence permit of that country, along with a work permit. The Polish Karta Pobytu only entitles you to reside in Poland, nowhere else.

aha now i understand
so i will cant working if i going with her ? but i will can going for visite?

Sorry but I don't understand your question.


You can visit other countries in the Schengen zone but you can not work in them.

Merged: Travel in Europe with Temporary Polish Residency

I'm a foreigner working in Poland. I currently have a Shengen VISA but it expires in a few months and then I will apply for a temporary Polish Residency. Does any-one know whether there are travel restrictions on the residency card. Or can I travel for short holidays to any EU country? :-)

In theory yes but which passport you hold can affect your ability to travel.

i Have Karta pobytu for two years .... My question is: can i travel to Bulgaria with the Card which i have?

I think that you need Visa to Bulgaria, as it's not in Schengen. Here they write only that you can go without Visa to Schengen countries:

Hello everyone,
is there any new update on this matter ? Traveling with ryanair with karta pobytu ? Is that possible ? Am lebanese living in poland and have 3 years karta pobytu... i booked a ticket to spain and didnt notice that my passport expired 10 days ago unfortunately :( ... just wondering if its possible to travel with karta pobytu.

If you do answer can you please support it with some online sources or personal experiences?
If available sure.

Thanks alot!

yes, nothing has changed, since both Poland and Spain are still within the Schengen area:
europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/entry-exit/non-eu-nationals/index_en.htm

"If your visa is from a "Schengen area" country, it automatically allows you to travel to the other Schengen countries as well. If you have a valid residence permit from one of those Schengen countries, it is equivalent to a visa. "

No, definitely not. Karta pobytu allows you to travel visa-free within Shengen, but you must have a valid passport with you.

yes, you are right. the residence card is just the visa: "If you are a non-EU national wishing to visit or travel within the EU, you will need a passport and possibly a visa..." but a visa is only valid together with a passport.

Impossible, sadly. You need a valid passport, and yes, Ryanair will check it at the airport.
