Thanks a lot! The only thing is that she automatically needs to use the EEA FP I'm afraid because it's a sticker in her passport. Probably it's enough to tell the immigration officer that she's there as a tourist in that specific situation, hoping not to create any unneccessary fuss...Jambo wrote:As a Japanese, she doesn't need a visa to visit the UK so she can enter as a visitor (tourist) instead of using the EEA Family Permit.
If asked, she can explain that she is only visiting now and will return to Italy and you plan to travel together later on this year (and enter using the EEA Family Permit then).
She should not try to use the EEA Family Permit if you are not with her or not living in the UK already.
When a Japanese national arrives to the UK, the IO usually doesn´t skim the passport for visas, but just places a stamp.albechan wrote:Thanks a lot!

The fact she has the visa, doesn't mean she needs to use the visa.albechan wrote:The only thing is that she automatically needs to use the EEA FP I'm afraid because it's a sticker in her passport.

Thanks. I know that Japanese tend not to attract too much attention but she's a bit worried about that and wanted to feel reassured (yeah, I guess she's really Japanese...ca.funke wrote:When a Japanese national arrives to the UK, the IO usually doesn´t skim the passport for visas, but just places a stamp.albechan wrote:Thanks a lot!

By the way: You wouldn´t have had to apply for the EEA-FP at all. You could have just gone to the UK, and that´s about it.
However, not that the EEA-FP is in her passport, I´m convinced she still won´t have a hard time. Japanese usually don´t cause trouble (as you probably know), as such they don´t attract much attention, immigration-wise.
I´m sure she´ll be just fine.
