Aug 27, 2021 at 20:09 comment added Relaxed Your stubborn refusal to use proper terminology or understand the short-stay/long-stay distinction has misled you again. The visa code controls short-stay visas and is plainly irrelevant here.
Aug 27, 2021 at 12:05 comment added phoog @MarkJohnson furthermore, the text you cite most certainly is outdated, since Annex VII of the visa code was deleted in 2019 by regulation 2019/1155. The same regulation provides that "the Commission shall, by means of implementing acts, adopt the rules for filling in the visa sticker." Perhaps you should refer to those implementing acts for the current rules.
Aug 27, 2021 at 11:51 comment added phoog @AndreySapegin is correct. There has been some inconsistent use of the "valid for" field on D visas, but it seems that the consensus is that giving "Schengen states" here would falsely suggest that the visa authorizes a long stay in any Schengen country. Therefore, most countries, including Germany, only put their own name in the "valid to" field. The authorization for short stays in other Schengen states follows automatically from 265/2010, which establishes that a D visa functions equivalently to a residence permit in that regard.
Aug 27, 2021 at 10:53 comment added Andrey Sapegin Because the question was about national (type D) visa. It indeed may have "limited validity" compared to Shengen visa (type C). However, there always were special regulations (some of them also existed back in 2009) for national visa holders that allow them to travel or transit through other Shengen countries. Currently, this is regulated in the Regulation (EU) No 265/2010 cited in phoog's answer. Therefore, I cannot understand why you wrote "only valid for Germany" and cited Visa Code while answering the question about national visa. Only Germany is in that field because it is national visa.
Aug 27, 2021 at 10:11 comment added Mark Johnson @AndreySapegin I have updated the link, but the referenced text is not outdated. So kindly explain why, when only 'Germany' is contained in that field, you think that the readers of the question know the reason why the visa has a limited territorial validity for Germany.

Aug 27, 2021 at 9:36 comment added Andrey Sapegin "This means that, for unknown reasons, the visa is only valid for Germany." - no, it does not
Aug 27, 2021 at 9:28 comment added Andrey Sapegin -1 for citing and referencing to Visa Code from 2009, which is 12 years old and outdated. If you open the links you provided, there will be a link to the new version of Visa Code in the beginning of the page.
