Orange card and leave the country.

Plyfain

Hey everyone!
I have a question about orange card
So right now I don't have it yet and still waiting for it
The police came and at the moment just waiting for the commune.
And I'm still on my visa. My visa is expire in May
Me and my boyfriend is planning to take a trip to Spain by plane in March so it's next month.

It's still before my visa end so my question is
am I allow to leave the country during the time of my visa?
And if I get an orange card in my hand before I go to Spain but I still have visa it's not expired yet. Can I still go?

Thank you for your answer!
🥰🥰🥰

If you have a valid Schengen Visa then you are fine to go because you rely on that Visa to go out/in Belgium or Spain.

This topic is discussed multiple times. You car search.

But in your case. You can use visa. No problem in that. Just dont rely on the Orange Card.

Once you get your orange card (police check is over) then you can think about traveling within Europe if your visa didn't expired.
But don't play too much, get 2-3 weeks max of vacation and get back in Belgium to follow the process!
