Bundesasylzentrum Allschwil
Vogesenweg 9, 4123 Allschwil · Canton of Basel-Landschaft
150 places, politically agreed capacity (a ceiling, not a headcount)
Federal asylum centre without processing function at Vogesenweg 9, Allschwil (canton of Basel-Landschaft), run by the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM). SEM lists it among its temporary (regular planning) sites with a politically agreed capacity of 150 places (list dated 1 September 2026). That figure is a ceiling agreed with the canton and the commune, not the number of people living here. SEM publishes no coordinate for this site, so the pin is derived from the published address using the federal register of building addresses. SEM does not publish which centres are in operation. We show this one as operating because SEM's list of 1 September 2026 carries it and it was not among the six centres SEM shut temporarily in June 2026 (SRF, 21 May 2026).

Swiss asylum accommodation has two tiers: the Confederation runs the federal asylum centres, and the 26 cantons house people afterwards under 26 different arrangements, with no national register. This is the federal tier. The State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) publishes its current list only as images, giving a town and a politically agreed capacity; its addresses come from a separate contact list, and the two do not always agree. SEM does not publish which centres are in operation, so the status here is established from dated SEM releases and press reports, each cited above. Sites SEM publishes with a town and no building address are left off the map rather than pinned at a town centre.
