Train Services and Border Checks
Every day, 22 trains stop at Nendeln station. Eleven trains go towards Switzerland, and eleven go towards Austria. Since 2013, the next station towards Austria (Schaanwald) is not always used. When this happens, Nendeln becomes a special border station.
This means that people arriving from Austria might have customs checks here. Liechtenstein and Switzerland have a special agreement to share customs. So, Swiss officials might check bags at the station or on the train. Passport checks are usually not needed anymore. This is because Liechtenstein joined the Schengen Area in 2011. The Schengen Area allows people to travel freely between many European countries without showing their passports.
