Do I need my passport to travel to EU countries if I have a residence permit card?

I'm an Indonesian, and have a Netherlands residence permit card. Do I still need my passport to travel to EU countries, since the 3 month visa I have inside the passport has expired anyway? And do I queue in the EU line, or the International passport line?Do I need my passport to travel to EU countries if I have a residence permit card?You will need your passport and the Netherlands residence permit (Verblijfsdocument) for travel outside of the Netherlands.

You don't need to queue since there are no passports controls on Schengen internal flights. You cannot go without a visa to EU countries which are not party of the Schengen travel agreement, those are Ireland and the United Kingdom. The new EU countries Cyprus and Romania allow a 5 day transit, Bulgaria grants a 36 hours transit. Non EU countries which also apply to the Schengen agreement and may be visited without immigration procedures are Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein. Holders of a Netherlands residence permit may also visit the microstates which do not have border controls and de facto accept Schengen country visa or residence permits. Those are Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City.Do I need my passport to travel to EU countries if I have a residence permit card?Yes, you need your passport - a passport is required for all international travel. Only citizens of EU member states which are signatories of the Schengen Agreement can travel between EU member states using their ID papers.



The residence card is meaningless outside of The Netherlands.



You may also need a visa to travel outside The Netherlands.



You queue in the international passport line.Do I need my passport to travel to EU countries if I have a residence permit card?Yes
