Can I go to Austria and back to Italy with my single entry national visa type D

Can I go to Austria and back to Italy with my single entry national visa type D?
I'm Thai and I've got a single entry national visa type D from Italy (I will study in Italy for a year). Can I go to Austria via Germany for a workshop for a month and come back to Italy I've explain I have to go to both the country (to fly to Italy to get my tool then fly to Austria to do the workshop before coming back to Italy to start my school year) and they gave me this type of visa.? I've been calling the embassies in Thailand and nobody gives me the same answers and no one seems to know the new rule applied after 5 April 2010. "With the new legislation, a long-stay visa (for stays exceeding three months) will - as regards the Schengen area - have the same effect as a residence permit: a third-country national holding a "long-stay D visa" issued by a Member State could travel to the other Member States for three months in any half year, under the same conditions as the holder of a residence permit." from http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=MEMO/10/111&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en I'm wondering do I really need to apply the permessio disoggiorno to get the reciept before traveling since I've tried to apply (for the renewal) but they said I can't because they've run out of the reciept! I know according to the new rule I should be able to travel in other states but I'm not sure if I can re-enter Italy since it's a single entry.

Single-entry is defined as ONE entry to the entire Schengen territory. As long as you stay within the territory of the 25 Schengen member countries you don't need anything else. There are no immigration controls on so called "Schengen internal flights". You just need to show your passport on check-in to proof your identity similar as on a domestic flight within your country. The Permesso di soggiorno is required once you plan to fly home on holidays and want to re-enter Italy..

You do not need any further visa if you have one in one European country. Europe has free circulation of workforce and population, and all they ask you at the airport is either a simple country ID, or your normal passport. The problem happens only when you get in-out of the European Union. It works in the same way you can fly within states in the US, they do not ask you for immigration documents between states. They ask you for your visa when you just fly in or out of the USA.

Yes, you can travel within the Schengen zone on a national type D visa and get back to Italy since April 5, 2010. You cannot travel out of the Schengen zone and re-enter before you hold your Permesso di soggiorno. Number of entries refers to the number of visits that may be carried out during the period of validity of the visa while respecting the length of the authorised stay: Example: – one entry: a visa is valid from 1.1. – 30.6 and allows for one entry. During that period the holder is allowed to travel once to the territory of the Member States; once he has left the territory of the Member States, he is not entitled to re-enter. For the purpose of the Visa Code the term "Member State" refers to those EU Member States applying the Schengen acquis in full and the associated states, and "territory of the Member States" refers to the territory of these "Member States". http://dc.the-netherlands.org/Services/Consular_services/Visa/US_citizens/Traveling_to_the_Netherlands/Tourist_and_Business_Visa_for_the_Netherlands_Schengen/See_also/Map_of_Schengen_countries .. Just to clarify: the free circulation of workforce and population only applies to European Union citizen and nationals of EEA countries as well as of Switzerland. The free movement of long stay visa or residence permit holders for 90 days per semester only applies within the Schengen territory, not in the U.K. or Ireland for example.

all the money you want
2 :
Bring a lot u dont want to be there and run out...have enough money just in case. its pretty expensive and the dollar isn't really worth much
3 :
Alot Italy is the best country on the planet, it sucks your going w/ your school though...Italy has no drinking age or tobacco age.
4 :
all of it
5 :
I will take at least 500 dollars of more to spend
6 :
AT LEAST $1,000. I mean, food for a week and souveniers, clothes, etc. isn't cheap!
7 :
Take as much as you can aford to. You will need money for incidentals, and souveniers. You may find something that you just Need to have from italy as a reminder of your trip there. Have a blast!
8 :
you probably wont spend more than 700 dollars there but take like a thousand for emergency.
9 :
I think you should take 20 Euros for lunch daily, and an additional 10 Euros a day for drinks. It's very expensive to get a pop or any kids of drinks in Europe. Also, I would take at least another 300 Euros to purchase souvenirs, and for any other incidentals that come up. So I would say 500 Euros, which will cost you about 750.00 US
10 :
If you are going for 9 days, I say you should bring about 40 dollars a day. Yes, that might seem like way too much, but if you can afford it, I think having 350 dollars will be good. That way, if you want to splurge and get a nice lunch one day (between 40-50 dollars) you can. Also, you can buy trinkets or souvenirs no problem. Remember, Italy is expensive!! A lot of places charge you (maybe 25-50 cents) to use public restrooms. A lot of churches charge admission (maybe 2-3 euros). Also, I think bringing a lot of money can only be a positive. Worst case scenario, if you bring too much, you can always bring it back home with you. Last thing - make sure you have a way to get money while in Italy just in case of emergencies. Perhaps that is your or a parent's ATM card that will work abroad. It's always good to be safe.

CIAO!!! My name is Antonio, I'm an Italian guy, I'm 16 and I'm from Milan. I think that Italy is the best country in the world!!!! I love Italy cuz the food is so good, the people are fantastic, the art is wonderful, and the sea is so clean: two weeks ago I went to Sardinia and the sea was great... However I like America too and my favorite city is Miami!!! Excuse me if I did some mistakes of English grammar but I'm Italian and in English I'm not excellent... Ciao ciao!!!! See you in Italy!!!!!!!!

Hey, my name is Chris, I'm 17 and I am currently living in ROME!! I have been here since last September as a foreign exchange student. Italy is a wonderful country because of the relaxed atmosphere. I love the cooking, and hope to be able to attempt to cook as good when I go back to the States. Also the people here are very very kind, and that helps a lot especially when you are going into something brand new and you have no idea what to expect. I came here speaking no Italian, and only talking to my host family through email, but I was welcomed and taken care of just the same. Since then I have attended school and made some awesome friends who are planning to come visit me in the States and maybe even live with me for a year. Anyway, that's just a very small look into what I like about Italy. =) Enjoy your trip!! And I would suggest learning just a LITTLE bit of Italian, because you will get complimented A LOT for it and look less like a tourist.

Have you ever seen the movie Under the Tuscan Sun? If you have, Marcello (played by Raoul Bova) is a perfect example of one reason why lots of women want to go there, lol, for the men. I am a proud Italian-American, and I love Italy, not just for the amazingly good-looking guys, but for its beauty, art, culture, and great food. The whole entire country is wonderful, I think, and I would love to move there someday! :)
