How to invite Villagers with amiibo

Assuming you already have already upgraded the Resident Services tent into the Town Hall, and built the Campground, inviting new Villagers to your island through amiibo is a pretty straightforward process.
Here’s how to get a specific amiibo-unlocked Villager to your island:
- Head to Resident Services and use the Nook Stop Terminal in the corner.
- Select ‘Invite amiibo Camper‘ and tap your chosen figure on the right control stick / middle of the Pro Controller.
- Assuming you’ve tapped the right amiibo, an invite will be sent to the crossover Villager of your choosing.
Getting the Villager to move onto your island permanently is different ballgame entirely, and we have a whole guide dedicated to the long process of invites, DIY Recipes and Campground chats.
We hope this guide has been useful! Be sure to check out our full Animal Crossing: New Horizons walkthrough guide hub for more hints and tips.
