Not sure that as a resident, your movements in and out of your host country will be recorded in your passport. Rather than your passport, your biometric residency permit will be used to track your movements.
Dear ***************
Thank you for contacting the Europe Direct Contact Centre and apologies for the late reply.
We have consulted the Directorate-General for Justice and Consumers (DG JUST). They can inform you that when transiting via another country than the Member State of residence, passports should not be stamped on entry/exit. Residence permit holders are not limited to the maximum period of stay of 90/180 days within the Schengen area as they have a right of residence going beyond these days in the Member State which issued the residence permit.
How will biometric card track movements when there are no internal borders to have it checked? Unlike a citizen card, it's not a travel document, passports will still have to be presented.
