I am Lebanese, and I have a passport valid until 2020. I have a Bulgarian national visa D. Can I travel in EU countries without a Schengen visa?

Per TIMATIC, the database used by airlines, you can travel to Croatia, Cyprus and Romania on a Bulgarian D visa, but not to Schengen countries, the UK or Ireland. For those, you need separate visas unless holding a family member residence card.

Thank you for the information, I have a sister living in Austria and she holds a resident card there, how she can help me to visit her ?– HeissamCommented Nov 11, 2018 at 0:36

@Heissam She cannot; it's up to you to convince the Austrian embassy that you're a bona fide visitor and will return to Bulgaria. Do bring a notarised letter from her explaining the dates and purpose of your trip.– CrazydreCommented Nov 11, 2018 at 0:49
