Hello, there is my first trip in europe for the spring break, i will fly from Monterrey (Mexico) to Houston, Texas and I will pass to immigration and taking my second flight to Frankfurt till arrival in Paris and i would like to know, how the things are there, from my first stop is frankfurt but my arrival is in Paris and i dont know if i go to immigration in frankfurt or paris or both? because i heard once entry to schengen country you dont need to go to immigration again because you are in schengen countries. also about luggages in custom control. I hope to hear from you.

sorry my english is not good.

thank you.

hey I did similar question and a guy answered me, if you want to check my question go to my profile, because i am kinda worried, i have been in europe before but never stopping from a country to a country in the same treaty, just direct flight.

Your bags will be checked through to Paris, but you will go through immigration in Frankfurt. After that you go through security before boarding flight to Paris.

After claiming bags in Paris, you'll go through customs. Unless you have stuff to declared, it usually just means walking out the doors with the green sign.

"... once entry to schengen country you dont need to go to immigration again because you are in schengen countries...."

Correct. You show your passport to immigration officers in the first Schengen airport. After that, no more immigration, but in Frankfurt you show the passport together with the ticket for security check before boarding the airplane from Frankfurt to Paris.

In Paris, if a customs officer is interested in your bag, he or she can ask you to show your bag and to show your passport. Customs, not immigration.

But if nobody asks, do as rkkwan said - walk out of the green door (green means "nothing to declare&quot.

¡Buen viaje!

Actually, it is quite simple.

In Frankfurt, double check the departure gate for your connecting flight to Paris.
Even though the folks in Houston or Monterrey might have given you a boarding pass with departure gate, the gate might have changed during those hours you had been on the plane from Houston.

Follow signs for connecting flights according to the departure terminal/gate given on the monitors once you got off the plane from Houston.
Do not follow signs for "Exit" or "Baggage claim".
You will be automatically guided thru passport control and security check.
Passport controls are usually seperated for EU citizens and Non-EU citizens. Take the line that is moving faster if you are in a hurry. Border control agents here are not as anal about "lining up properly" as in other contries. I always have people from Cambodia or Saudi-Arabia in "my" EU citizen's line, and no one cares about that.

In Paris, you will arrive at the Schengen section of the airport/ terminal, meaning that there will be no passport control.

thank you everybody for the information
