Can I travel outside Germany and return with a German D-type visa?
If you have a valid German residence permit or a D-type (national) visa, you can travel for short periods within the Schengen Area and return to Germany. Still, pay attention to the validity period of your visa or residence document and entry conditions; especially when traveling outside the Schengen Area, check current entry rules from official sources.
