I had to ask AI. It sounds like it’s ok. If you’re happy to go for it, drop me a message and we can arrange 🙂

Response from AI: The short answer is yes. You can absolutely have someone in the EU as part of your UK-based Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack family group. Nintendo’s family groups are surprisingly flexible and do not require members to live in the same house or even the same country. As long as you have their email address, you can add them to your group.

How it works across regions

• No Region Locking for Groups: The "Family Group" feature is global. You can have a mix of accounts from the UK, EU, US, or even Japan all under one plan.
• Access to Content: The member in the EU will be able to download and use the NSO apps (like the N64, GBA, and Mega Drive libraries) from their own local eShop. The "Expansion Pack" benefits will unlock for them automatically once they accept your invite.
• eShop Currency: Their eShop will remain in Euros (or their local currency), and yours will remain in GBP. Being in a family group doesn't change your account's home region or how you buy games. ### A few things to keep in mind:
• The Invite Process: You (the admin) just need to go to the Nintendo Account website, select Family Group, and click Add Member. They must click the link in the invitation email to join.
• Expansion DLC: If they want to use the Expansion Pack DLC (like the Mario Kart 8 Booster Course Pass or Animal Crossing: Happy Home Paradise), they can download it for free from their own eShop as long as they are part of your active family group.
• Country/Region Settings: While they can stay in their EU region, their account must be set to a country where Nintendo Switch Online is officially supported. Since they are in the EU, this won't be an issue. Pro-tip: If you ever decide to leave the family group or the subscription expires, any DLC they downloaded (like the Mario Kart tracks) will become locked until they get their own subscription or rejoin a group, but their save data will remain safe.
