border controls for Andorra and other micro states? - View Of Niagara Falls And The Cityscape At Night

I've seen several mentions here of the lack of border control in Andorra, and indeed, I saw none when I entered nor when I left. But a web search finds a lot of pages stating they do maintain border control and none (that I saw) saying the opposite.

Several source make Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican City "de facto" members due to reduced or no border control, but when I tried to add Andorra in Wikipedia, it was reverted on the grounds it needed a citation. (though the citation for the other three is a 404.)

Anything official for Andorra or the other three?

Why are microstates not in the EU?

Currently, all of the European microstates have some form of relations with the European Union (EU). Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, San Marino, and the Vatican City remain outside the Union, because the EU has not been designed with microstates in mind.
