Dubai - U.A.E. Paperless Entry
I have been flying for over 40 years, and this was the first instance I can recall other than surface cross-border travel that no handwritten documentation or advance Visa applications whatsoever were required for non-state nationals. Does anybody know any other country [Other then Itra EU Travel] that has no paperwork for Immigration or Customs on entry other than a Passport for Foreign Nationals arriving by air.

Before joining the EU, UK (and I assume other EU citizens) needed fill out no paper for the following:
Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania.
The Romanian authorities don't require any paprework, and if my memory serves neither does Morocco. Turkey only requires GBP20 for the visa - no forms to fill in either. That said, outside of Europe it is very unusual not to have a form to fill in.

US or other citizenship?
For Turkey, there is no paper and no charge for French (and many other country's) passport holders. Just up to the passport control and you're stamped.
I would bet that you'd find a lot of other country combinations that would work.

Morocco, Bosnia, Croatia and Switzerland all failed to ask me for any paperwork or visa.
Pakistan required a visa, but no further paperwork (I did enter overland, if that makes a difference).
I can also travel from the UK to the Channel Islands, which are outside the EU, without so much as a library card
