With all manner of new content and features arriving in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players have a lot of questions. One of them is if they can invite villagers from Happy Home Paradise to live on your main island?

The only way to get new residents is via the traditional means of island adventures, the campsite, or trading with friends if they have a villager who is leaving their own island.
You can, however, invite your villagers to visit the Happy Home Paradise portion of the game, and set them up with a nice vacation. This requires Souvenir Chocolates from the DLC.
