"After months of uncertainty, traveling within the Schengen zone just became easier.
Following a round of discussions on the interpretation of certain laws, the European Commission presented a streamlined set of rules for traveling in the Schengen area June 6.
The main changes concern foreign nationals who hold long-stay, or type-D, visas. Previously, type-D visas were only valid in the Schengen country in which they were issued, requiring holders to apply for separate visas to each Schengen country they planned to visit.
Under the new provision, foreign nationals with type-D visas who are not subject to the visa requirement � such as Japanese, Canadian and American nationals � may move freely within other Schengen states for up to 90 days regardless of the number of days they spent in the Czech Republic, according to a pamphlet publicized on the Interior Ministry Web site."
