Yes, but only if you have a valid residence card.
If your temporary residence permit has expired while you are waiting for a formal decision on your permanent residence application, you do not have a valid residence card.
To obtain a valid residence card, you must either apply to renew your temporary residence permit or wait until your permanent residence application has been processed.
