Can I travel across EU with my student visa?

A type D visa, like a residence permit, allows you to make short trips to the other Schengen countries – very much as if you held a long multiple-entry type C visa or were visa-free. You only need to comply with the 90-of-180 days rule for the days you spend in Schengen minus the Czech Republic.

The “valid for” field on D visas state the issuing country rather than “Schengen States”, because it is only in that country you get the full rights implied by that visa. The less extensive rights to short visits is something one needs to just know.

It is not true that you “can only enter EU from the Czech Republic”. You’re perfectly allowed to enter and exit the Schengen Area through any of the external borders. You should be prepared to explain and document that you’re on your way either to the Czech Republic or to an allowed short trip in one of the other Schengen countries.

You should bring your passport such that you can identify yourself to any authorities that might ask. A student ID is unlikely to be accepted by police who are already suspicious enough to ask you for papers.
