Moving Out
If you do not talk to someone for 30 days then they can move out for a season. Any Main Villager that moves out will visit you in the morning to announce their departure, but the Sub-Villagers will simply not appear where you would normally see them. You can see which villagers have temporarily moved out by going into your Residents page and looking for the big ABSENT marker to the right of their heart markers.
Besides being ignored for a season, often there is an additional moving-out requirement that must be satified before they really leave for a while. Even if you had not talked to the person for 30 days but you still haven't met the second condition, the villager won't leave.
To convince the villagers to move back to the island you'll need to wait 30 days and then fulfill requirements that may have caused them to appear in the first place. Sometimes you don't even need to do anything extra at all.

For example, if Mark moved out of your game on Fall 2 then he must stay away for 30 days. Starting on Winter 2, the items you ship that season will count toward his return requirement. Once you have shipped 100 items he will appear the next morning and announce his return to the island.
The characters from Mineral Town will always move out when their season vacation is over. Cliff, Doctor, Popuri, and Karen will automatically return when it is time for them to visit for the season.
