It depends on where you're going and what you're doing.

A lot of this faff isn't relevant if you're not applying for any visas or citizenship. Which is most people, most of the time.

The obvious solution to most of these problems for most people is "don't cut it close to any of the limits". If you enjoy traveling a lot, that's definitely a problem, but most people don't cross borders often enough to run into this many corner cases.

This is only a small peek into the awful bureaucracy that will hit Europe if extreme right wing parties keep gaining popularity across the EU. The extra calculations Brexit imposes, but not for every country you travel through!

That’s true for many, but my passport isn’t very strong, so I still have to deal with a lot of paperwork for most transits.

		If your job is travel, like you are an international truck driver or maybe aircrew, these kinds of things might affect you a lot sometimes. There's probably special rules for those people in some places, which makes the situation even more complicated.
