How soon can you invite a new villager after one moves out?
You can invite a new villager to your island immediately after one moves out, but the new villager will only arrive the next day, and you can only invite one new villager per day from mystery islands, even if you have multiple empty plots available. To invite a new villager, you need to have a free plot of land on your island, which becomes available after a villager has moved out and their house has been removed, usually the day after they leave.
