I have a non-EU passport and a long-term D-visa for Italy. I have applied for my permesso di soggiorno and I only have the receipt with me. My visa is a multi-entry visa valid for 1 year. Will there be a problem while traveling to other Schengen countries and returning back to Italy?

Edit - I guess it would come down to if I will be required to show my residency permit while entering the next country or while entering back to Italy.

Update - I traveled to Sweden & back from Italy with only my passport, visa & my 1st permesso di soggiorno receipt.

Sweden had border control police who go through your documents making sure you're legitimate. They don't stamp the passports so it's technically not breaking schengen law.

The visa & receipt is adequate for travel within the Schengen area until the validity of the visa. Afterwards it's dependent on the permesso being renewed.
