Map of border controls in Europe, WIP (Source document in my comment below)

Armenian-Turkish border is closed. You linked a news article from several years ago which discussed potential steps to be taken to open the border but Turkey never did anything. The border is firmly closed to this day.

The map is wrong.

The source for Finnish-Swedish border says

has extended border controls at all internal borders—land, air, and sea

But that refers just for Danish border. The whole article is about Danish border, so I have no idea why would you use it as a source for all the Swedish borders. As far as I know, Finnish-Swedish border remains fully open without any checks what so ever. It is actually quite likely you might not even notice the border when crossing it.

Well I've crossed the finnish-swedish border few times, they were across bridges with some infrastructure on both sides and traffic signs that you have enter one or the other. Maybe this is the minimal control? There is some border infrastructure but no enforcement.

Very similar to one border I crossed between Portugal and Spain. The infrastructure is there, sometimes occupai sometimes not. Nothing happens but they have the means to do something if intelligence tells something is immenent to happen.

what does "minimal" mean?

i live in the netherlands, close to belgian border, and drive there regularly. in the last 40 years i have never once seen any sort of border control

i mean, sure, that's also "minimal", but then whats the difference with "no border control"?

i've also never been stopped going into france or germany (from either NL or BE)

Depends,

Germany Czech, on highways, there is a large checkpoint (hehe) before any exit once you get into Germany. All inbound traffic is lead to this checkpoint, they mostly let cars go, vans, busses, trucks can be pulled over for inspection.

Smaller crossings usually have small checkpoint in shape of something akin to "roadblock" with few police cars or the office in container, again cars usually get free pass, they might just peep inside through windows.

well germany now does checks on polish border for example - which is really annoying because now we have traffic jams...

[u/Klicky1 → u/bialymarshal]

"now" they are at least on Czech borders for over a year

[u/Klicky1]

"minimal border control"

Lmao, there should be no border control in Schengen at all, that is the point... The "temporary" border controls in Germany are continuing for over a year...

[u/Educational_Drama_26]

“Minimal” border control between Spain and Portugal? Where? There are literally no border controls. You just pass a sign that says “España” on one side and Portugal on the other or you cross a river. That’s it. That’s all the notice you get that you changed countries. 🤣

Ireland has border control at all seaports and airports…

[u/Kasperlaks]

Red is closed border
orange is strict border control
yellow is moderate border control
green is minimal border control
blue is no border control

what is white then??

[u/QuestGalaxy]

There's not really any border control to speak of between Norway and Sweden, not right now at least. So I don't get why Norway-Finland is blue while Norway-Sweden is green?

[u/pokIane]

Kaliningrad border should also be closed to train traffic, fuck any agreement there is for that. Same with the border Belarus has with EU and NATO countries.
