I am a seaman from Nepal and I have a Italy type D visa valid until Nov 22 2017. I applied for a type C visa recently, but the consulate called me, saying that I can travel to Italy with my valid type D visa. When I went to pick my passport from VFS, a person there told me that I cannot use the type D if I want to go as tourist, and that I have to apply again for the visa type C. The problem now is time. I am travelling in a week. What is correct? Can I travel with the type D visa?
