That is not the full list.
Did I say they were the only EU country not on the list? Re-read what I wrote.
They are certainly the one of the only wealthy EU countries not on the list. I see Belgium and Netherlands also are excluded.
I think it may be Australia reciprocating their exclusion from EasyPass (exempt MUC weirdly), and access to their E-Gates. Good for them.

Have you ever tried going through them with the EU line? I have successfully used a US passport travelling with an EU citizen at EU passport lines, just had to be manned desk. Was under the impression that being a family like that was allowed. Not sure on 100% legality of this though.

The full list of EU passports allowed to use Australian smartgates:
Austria
Denmark
France
Finland
Ireland
Italy
Luxembourg
Sweden
=8 countries or around 29% of the total nations in the EU, leaving 71% of the EU nations as ineligible

you may wish to re read what I wrote also�.

I think it was three years ago, the line at ARN passport control to get into the EU was insanely long. We only had about an hour before our connecting bus. The line for citizens was also long but moving rather steadily. Mrs. Swede pleaded with security that I be allowed to go with them, but they said no. I did make it to the bus with about 10 minutes to spare, but I was definitely getting nervous. So many people missed their connecting flights.

That's pretty crazy. I have gone through that line in Spain, Poland and Amsterdam for sure. Never had issues!

No, fines would only apply if there was deficiency of documents or other reason BA would have been aware of not to allow the passenger to travel.
For a passenger who is refused at the Schengen border, the passport must be stamped with the entry stamp which then must be cancelled by drawing a + through the stamp, and a letter between A and I written next to it indicating the reason for refusal. A refusal of entry form as set out in EU regulation 2016/399 must be issued and a copy given to the passenger.

Did any of this happen? If not, it seems likely that the border guard has used some informal/unofficial process and not actually refused entry formally, just had the passenger informally withdraw their request for permission to enter Sweden.

The systems to show that do not all link up at present.
Officially speaking, non-EU citizens who are travelling with an immediate family member that is an EU citizen may join the EU line in any country other than the family member's country of citizenship, and is similarly exempt from visa and in due course ETIAS fees. If travelling to the country of citizenship of the EU citizen, domestic rules of that country apply.

And depending on the country, they'll still let you though the EU line with the foreign spouse. Annoyingly, the ETIAS fee will apply if you want to enter the family member's country of citizenship. The fee-waived one is not vaild for that one single country. Go figure.

Indeed. The rationale, such as it is, is that:

• The EU citizen has effective freedom of movement to other EU states (freedom both of cost and of restrictions)
• That freedom of movement must include freedom to bring their immediate family members, otherwise it's ineffective
• But when the EU citizen is entering their country of citizenship, they are not exercising their freedom of movement under EU law but their right to enter their country of citizenship in that country's own law
• Therefore all of the above goes out the window and domestic rules apply 🙃

They won't take pseudoswede. I can tell you now that entering/exiting the EU through ARN is either very easy or very difficult with no in-between. I was trying to leave the EU through ARN (ARN-JFK on Delta) and was in the "All other passports" line to be stamped out. While I was in line, they had a shift change and flipped the line I was in to EU/EEA passports only. The other people in line saw this and someone mentioned "what are they going to do, refuse to let us leave?" Then when the next person went up to the counter, they were told that they could not be processed because the line is now an EU/EEA passports only line. The person protested that they were in line for a long time and that it's not their fault that they swapped the lane. The Swedish border guard explained that they did a shift change and that the previous guard took the stamp with them, and so the current guard could not stamp anyone out of the EU; so that's why the lane was EU/EEA passports only.

So, we all got into another line as my flight was just beyond the counter, with a final boarding call. Of course, I had the dreaded SSSS on my boarding pass, so I had to go get my bags and shoes swabbed, but the person doing the check took my boarding pass to the gate agent to scan, so that they wouldn't leave without me and could load my checked bag. Thankfully, the process was quick, I wasn't the last person to board my flight, and even after boarding completed, we still somehow pushed back 15 minutes early.

A few days prior, I had to get stamped out as I was flying ARN-LHR on SAS. Absolutely no issue, and I was quickly stamped out with no line for the desk.

Isn't this an internal Schengen border? Where they doing a border check at internal borders?

Yes, and it's an increasingly common aspect of travel within Schengen. Norway is by no means the only country to do this.

Thank you for the reply. So, do they route passengers to formal passport control, or do they just send border guards to meet the plane by the jetway and then select passengers "randomly" for additional questions?

In this instance we walked past the old passport desks, which have been decommissioned, but the border agents were stamding by them, checking all IDs from all non domestic flights. I mistakenly pulled out my UK passport rather than my French passport, and that was given some extra checks. It didn't take more than a few minutes though.

I generally find almost all staff at ARN, in any capacity, to be lacking inter-personal skills.

I wonder about the question in the OP though. Many seem to have bad experiences at ARN. Is it always the BA flight? That one departs/arrives from T2 and I wonder if it's a separate team working the border there? I have a bad gut feeling about the "interesting" destinations at T5 not receiving the same scrutiny described here.

I haven�t done a non-Schengen trip from T2 since about 2012, so I don�t think it�s terminal specific IME as T5 staff aren't exactly pleasant either.
