Any issues for a Brazilian visiting UK from their current location of Spain?

I have a friend who is currently residing in Spain but they are thinking of visiting England for a few days - maybe 5 or 6. They are then returning to Spain. They hold a Brazilian Passport and seem to think The UK is strict on immigration - I did tell them this is not the case ;)
I did just wonder though if there would be any issues with this visit even though they have a return flight to Spain already booked?
Any help would be appreciated :)

You will need a Passport which must be valid for the period of intended stay.
You will not need a visa for a stay of up to six month.
To come to the United Kingdom as a visitor you must be able to show that you:
â€¢ only want to visit the United Kingdom for up to six months;
â€¢ plan to leave the United Kingdom at the end of your visit;
â€¢ have enough money to support and accommodate yourself without working, help from public funds or you will be supported and accommodated by relatives or friends;
â€¢ do not intend to charge members of the public for services provided or goods received;
â€¢ do not intend to study; and
â€¢ can meet the cost of the return or onward journey.

You should be ok.
The UK is strict on immigration now, understandable really. But we're not into turning away every tourist that wants to come in and have a look around.

And while i'm on, Naila, 'they', suggests all of us British feel the same. That's not true. What we ARE fed up with though, is scroungers rolling up on our doorstep, feeling they have a right to a free house and money, because we are a caring society.
What you have suggested is insulting to the majority of British people.
If I were to say, all Pakistani's were extremist bombers, I would be accused of narrow-mindedness, or racism.

Brazil is not part of EU, though Spain is. Suggest that the passport people will check their passports carefully, but can't see a problem with their entry into Britain.

Naila/Natty suggest you need some sort of reality check

Better be careful with this--if the Police find out he's Brazilian they're likely to blow his brains out in case he's a bomber ("better safe than sorry"). Just make sure your friend's aware of this.

Part of the EU, they wont even look at their passports
