Can someone have a villager move to their island if they have a villager in boxes

My friend has all of their plots full, and one of their villagers is in boxes right now. They are offering for Tex, who’s on my island, and I have to get him in boxes today since Freya is in my campsite and I really want her to move in.

If I get Tex in boxes, is it possible for my friend to come and adopt Tex if they have full plots, but they have a villager in boxes?

Best Answer

No. You can only invite a villager in boxes from another town if you have an empty plot on your island (meaning the villager already moved out and their house has been replaced by the for-sale plot)
