The game provides two settings. In the default settings, only large stands require passport control. The destination doesn’t matter at all.
There is a gameplay settings “realistic international stands” which allows to set every stand type to domestic or international. Then the destination is relevant. Be carefull about the country you select to play. Not every country will then have enough domestic or international flights. (France is no issue)
There is also an option for Shengen if you want that all Shengen countries are handled as domestic without passport control.
