No. But you can use the WP as a Schengen visa for visits.

Unfortunately that's what I expected. In case I have an unmarried partner who is EU national, the only option would be to apply for a work permit on that basis? Does France do this? How do one prove that one lives together for two years?

Ok, thanks for the answer.[/quote]

No that is not true. http://www.siseministeerium.ee/?id=25442&
If permanent residents need visa so do those with limited leave.
You don't need Schengen if you didn't need it due to your nationality.

Is ur partner German?

If so you can apply to French Consulate in Germany for whatever they call the EEA Family Permit on the basic ur partner would be exercising a treaty right. Then you can go with ur partner and work under her/his auspices.

U need to prove two years of living as man and wife basically.

SYH I'm not sure what you're talking about but if you have a work permit issued by a Schengen country, you will most likely have a residence permit issued by a Schengen country and therefore NOT need a visa to travel within the Schengen zone regardless of nationality - as the link above explains.

Let me clarify. Typically you should have a resident permit with your work permit, however many systems allow a person to start working before obtaining the resident permit. Thus if we are solely talking about when one has possession of a resident permit from one Schnegen country, then yes one can travel in schengen for up to 3 months if the resident permit is valid for more than 3 months. After that, you need another Schengen visa visits of more than 3 months outside the country that provided your resident permit would indicate you might be trying to reside in another Schnegen country.
Otherwise the OP should stick close to his EU national partner for travelling purposes

.

There is one uncommon example where you can be a resident with work permit in one EU country and be allowed to work in another.

If you own your own company, or are one of the top-level partners, that company can employ you and provide the basis for your work permit, and thus your residency permit in that country.

However, depending on the country that you establish your business in and the type of business you establish, that same business can also be your basis to travel to other EU countries and work in them specifically in conjunction with activities of said business.

There are other restrictions. Your residency is still held by the original country, and you can lose that residency if you violate regulations governing your actual time in that and other countries.

With careful investigation, you can understand and abide by the regulations of the countries involved and be able to work and travel throughout several countries while maintaining residency and your primary business operations in one of those countries. Keeping your accounting in perfect order is also a Good Idea. The country that grants you the business, work permit & residency will be very interested that you pay all of your taxes and government fees properly and on time.

That is how I work and travel throughout the EU.
