„Union state“ is really wild, because this is simply a bilateral agreement between two countries, not any sort of visa-free zone or union for other countries to potentially join in the future.

This is misleading
There is no concept of open borders between sovereign countries
What you’re seeing is simply a political agreement between countries to share citizen data with one another, which makes the border feel open
For example:
If you commit a serious crime in France, French authorities can share your data EU-wide and request your arrest through EU legal mechanisms, and other EU countries are generally obligated to comply

French Guyana..? Isn’t it part of the EU?

Free movement in North America and the Caribbean when
Greece should have „open borders“ w/ Armenia, & Serbia, also.
(& EU should do the same for Orthodox, & Kurds in Syria).

West African states also have had one

If we count „union states“, doesn’t the USA qualify…?

Mercosur is not exactly an open border, in theory, we allow the free movement of products, that is, a Brazilian going to Argentina to spend a holiday in Bariloche to see snow, is a tourist, that is, a product. However, if one day I decide for some reason that I would be much happier living in Buenos Aires and supporting River Plate, it is a much more bureaucratic process than that.

The title is wrong, these aren’t all „open borders“.
Central America’s CA-4 is literally called „Border Control Agreement“, where you can’t just walk/drive through like if you’re travelling within a country’s state-to-state. You have to go through controls and show your ID (no passport needed if a national) to be allowed through, they inspect your vehicle’s registration and the like. I think it’s similar to how the Canada-US border used to work.

Trans-Tasman is not an open border. Foreigners need separate authorizations to visit Australia and New Zealand. As well, trans-Tasman flights need to go through passport control.

ASEAN has almost open borders

I think Chile should also be addes to Mercosur since althought it’s only an associated state, people from other Mercosur and associate states (including the Andean Community ones) can go to it only showing their ID

Would the US’s Compact of Free Association with Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands count as one of these?

Mercosur has a treaty of open borders with the Andean community and Chile. No need for a passport

It still blows my mind that Canada and the US don’t have open borders. You’d think it would be like Australia and NZ. We’re mates, come stay whenever you want.

What if BRICs had open borders? 🤔

It’s missing the world’s oldest customs union: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_African_Customs_Union](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_African_Customs_Union)
Can’t we just put it all the same colour?
