Receive Posters Of Guests

You'll be able to order posters of characters whose amiibos you've scanned in the game. This can be done at the Nook Port terminal. However, you'll still need to pay bells for these posters - they're not free.

Unlocked After Visiting Harvey

Posters will only become available after you've done a photoshoot on Harvey's Island. They'll be added to the Nook Shopping interface at that point.

Change Outfits Too

You can also change the outfits of amiibos you've invited, giving you the freedom to customize their clothes as you please!

Invite Guests Into Campsite

When you use a supported Amiibo or Amiibo Card in the game, you'll be able to invite some guests into your Campground on the island!

Can Only Invite Once A Day

Invitations to the campground can only be done once per day, per island. It's best to prioritize which animals you want to bring to your camp first.

How To Make Amiibo Move To Island

Overview

Step	What To Do
①	Advance in the game up until you unlock the Campsite
②	Prepare your amiibo
③	Scan your amiibo at the Nook Stop
④	Talk to an animal at the campsite
⑤	Listen to the animal's request (Get a recipe)
⑥	Repeat steps 3-5 the next day (Do this a total of 3 times)
⑦	Talk to them until you get the option to ask them to move to your island
⑧	Set up a new plot OR swap them out with an animal in an existing house to confirm the new resident
⑨	They'll move to your island the next day

Hear Out The Animal's Request

Oh, is that the barbell I asked for? Is it ready?!!!

When you speak with an animal at the campsite, they'll ask you to bring them something like an item. If you don't have this item or can't make it, they'll also give you a recipe! Just gather the materials and put it together.

Repeat 3 Times

Thank you so much! Take this Nurse Cap as a token of my thanks!!!!

When you turn in the item they've requested, the animal's opinion of your island will improve. While their impression of your island is still low, you won't be able to invite them to become residents. In order to invite them, you'll have to give them an item 3 times!

Might Need To Kick Out An Existing Villager

Choose a villager to negotiate with.!!!

You'll need available space on your island. If your island is already full, you'll have to swap them out with someone else (which is a nice way of saying you'll have to forcibly remove someone.)

Or Set Up A New Lot

If you haven't set up the maximum number of houses on your island, putting up land for sale and creating a new lot is also an option! This method spares you from having to go through the painful task of evicting a poor animal.
