Paris to Basel SBB, getting through immigration
A traveler named Arvind is planning a trip from Paris to Basel and then to Lucerne. He needs to know if he should account for immigration time at Basel and whether to pre-reserve his train ticket from Basel to Lucerne. It turns out there's no immigration check, and he can easily find train tickets after arriving.
- There is no immigration check between Paris and Basel, so you won't need to allocate time for that.
- You can buy a point-to-point ticket from Basel to Lucerne in advance, but a regular ticket is valid for a day, allowing flexibility if you miss a connection.
- Direct trains from Basel to Lucerne leave every hour, making it easy to travel.

- How much time shall I account for Immigration check at Basel ?

Hi Arvind
There is no immigration check between Paris and Basel. They both fall within Schengen zone.
So not need to allocate any time for immigration.

Hi Arvind,
If you’re travelling from France into Switzerland, there will be no immigration check at the border. However custom and police check may be carried out during border crossing on board the train.
You can buy your a point-to-point ticket from Basel to Lucerne in advance here: http://www.myswissalps.com/traintickets/switzerland. A single regular ticket is usually valid for up to a day so if you missed a connection you can always take the next one. Direct trains from Basel to Lucerne leave every hour. You can check train schedules here: http://www.myswissalps.com/timetable
Hope this helps.
