Given a travel related situation, and given a specific question about the situation, summarize the question into a title
--------
Question: I'll be going to France for 4 months to conduct research towards my PhD. I believe I will be issued with a long stay visa for research to cover my trip. I have the required "Convention d'Accueil" from the organisation I'll be spending time at. I currently hold an Australian passport.

My question is, is this research visa considered a "Type D", like the other French long stay visas and does it allow entry into other Schengen areas? Does the research visa carry any specific conditions (besides the fact that you need a "Convention d'Accueil" to apply)? 

I will have a month off during my 4 month stay, during which I'd like to travel around to other countries, hopefully I can do this with the one visa.


Answer: Does a French long stay research visa differ from a regular "Type-D" visa and are there implications for travelling in Schengen areas?


Question: My friend asked me to go to a Luke Bryan concert on October 30th, at Ford Field in Detroit. I've heard a lot of horror stories about the violence in the city, and it make me uneasy thinking about the possible outcome if we are not prepared... Should I be concerned? What kind of area is Ford Field surrounded by? We paid $130 each for floor tickets, so I would absolutely HATE to cancel, just because I am afraid of the city, and its reputation for violence, especially on "Devils Night" 


Answer: Concert in Detroit on Devils night "October 30th", should I be worried?


Question: I was travelling out of Turkey the other day and was surprised that they have exit immigration (checking passports/visas on the way out). This introduces somewhat of a delay into the airport process, so it's helpful to know in advance whether it's going to happen when visiting a new country.

I'm from the UK, where we don't do this (well, we do, but it's only very recently introduced, and electronic, so is mostly transparent for air travel). In the US, I believe exit records are electronic also. Schengen countries have exit immigration when leaving Schengen but it is mostly incidental/very quick for EU citizens.

Is there any comprehensive or consistent way to know if a country is going to have exit immigration before you get to the airport in order to factor that into your timings?

Note: I am mostly focused on airport travel here, although a more general answer could be helpful.


Answer:
Is there any way to easily check in advance if a country has exit immigration at the airport?
