What are the Requirements for a Friends Visit?

To visit your friend’s island or wait for someone else to visit, you must wait for a day after creating your island. When you arrive on an island, don’t be surprised if the airport is closed as on the first day, the airport is inaccessible.

To use the Airport for business purposes, you have to visit different islands and welcome visitors visiting your Island. But for both purposes, you require a Nintendo Switch Online subscription plan.
