Imagine, it wasn't the case prior to mid-nineties. International air travel was possible with paper tickets. Heck, you could've travel, immigrate, and settle all around Europe without papers prior to a certain mentally challenged emperor deciding to ruin it all.

    Wilhelm II would be my guess. He would fit the bill. Though, as you said, many others would too.

  a close friend of mine who settled in the UK after he only survived the war by fluke being Polish Danzig born but with a step uncle a unfortunate gauleiter (he was on the run one way or another consequently) still to this day hurriedly produces his German Police certificate of good conduct and freedom from trouble with the law, despite being here because he spied for us he cannot be persuaded that any of the 3rd reich or subsequently 4 powers or West German authorities hold any less power over his individual freedoms and liberties and right of abode and living, not one smallest bit less in all that time. And I believe my friend is perfectly correct to think that this is the case.

    My family are descendants of a gypsy from Romania who walked here in the late 19th century. He found a local wife.

      That does not imply that anyone "could travel, immigrate, and settle all around Europe without papers" at the same time. Wherever I look, I am finding various requirements for documentation, permission and restrictions. They might be more or less strict, but I did not succeeded in finding period where whole Europe would allowed you to move and settle freely without some of that. And even less the part "prior to a certain mentally challenged emperor deciding to ruin it all" where I really dont know who the original person means.
