How can my girlfriend maximise her chances of getting into the UK on a tourist visa?

Accepted answer

As a Japanese citizen, your girlfriend does not need a visa to visit the UK:

You won’t need a visa to come to the UK

You can stay in the UK for up to 6 months without a visa.

However, you should bring the same documents you’d need to apply for a visa, to show to officers at the UK border.

  • You may want to apply for a visa if you have a criminal record or you’ve previously been refused entry into the UK.

In your case, perhaps the most important document to show is a return ticket (or onward ticket) for your girlfriend to show that she won't try to stay in the UK. The fact that you have long-term residence in Japan will work in your favour.
