I have 2 simultaneous Schengen visas on my passport: 1 for study and 1 for touristic visit. I entered Portugal on February 11 with type D visa, did not exit since and the duration of stay (120 days) will expire on June 9th, but I want to stay longer. My type C visa (touristic) is valid until July 3. Can I use type C visa after the expiration of type D visa, or is it also considered as expired since I will have been present in Schengen area for more than 90 days already, which is the duration limit of my type C visa? If I exit Schengen area and come back should I switch to my type C visa?

The 90 days rule applies only to the tourist visa, it does not apply to the study (national) visa. So your 90 days on your C visa starts counting after the national visa expires.

Thanks for your answer. SEF center at Porto, Portugal (sef.pt) said that it is a problem. So I am still not sure if I might have any issues at the borders of Schengen countries. Is there any official doc that describes this?

Sorry, Steven was only partially correct. Having student visa after tourist visa - it is the situation when the 90/180 rule does not apply. Unfortunately, it does not work the other way around. Having tourist visa after student visa - the 90/180 rules does apply. See a quote from official document cited in this thread:

Schengen tourist visa after study visa expires
http://www.maxi-pedia.com/forum/index.php?topic=288.0

See this part:

Quote
(2) stayed in the Czech Republic/Schengen area based on a Schengen visa
and their subsequent stay will be based on a Czech national visa (these
visas are issued only in exceptional cases)

This is the only exception available.

Note, the thread is about the Czech Republic, but it applies to Portugal as well, the Schengen code applies to all Schengen countries the same way.

Thanks a lot Danisara, my tourist visa was before my student visa so I think I'm good at this point to spend my tourist visa days...
