| Jun 17, 2021 at 8:07 | comment | added | Relaxed | In France, you can easily end up in a situation where all you have is a récépissé, which authorises stay but not re-entry and is thus akin to the situation you describe. Visa-free entry or use of a prior long-stay visa might still be possible but it might not, depending on the exact situation. | |
| Jun 17, 2021 at 4:06 | comment | added | Mark Johnson | @phoog Kindly supply a source for that. Germany generally issues a permit (or D-Visa) for the first 3 months, afterwhich for 12 months. There nothing in the AufenthG that states that may not leave in between. Only after an absence of 6 months is a residence considered abandoned. France generally issues a permit (D-Visa) for 12 months. | |

| Jun 3, 2018 at 15:40 | comment | added | phoog | @PatriciaShanahan I believe that's more or less correct, but I think it may be more because of the legal or conceptual distinction than the bureaucratic distinction. JonathanReez I believe France and Germany are among the countries that have similar rules. I hope to have time to add an answer tomorrow. | |
| Jun 3, 2018 at 6:36 | comment | added | Patricia Shanahan | I don't know, but maybe it is related to the bureaucratic split between issuing visas for people outside the US (state department) and adjusting status for people inside the US (USCIS)??? | |
| Jun 3, 2018 at 5:28 | comment | added | JonathanReez | @phoog such as? I know that in some Schengen countries you might be in a situation where you don't have a valid visa while your permit is being processed, however you can still come and go as much as you please if you have a visa free passport. | |
| Jun 3, 2018 at 3:14 | comment | added | phoog | Many countries have a similar requirement, including many in Europe. | |
