expat
This term carries a specific social connotation, often implying a professional or privileged status. It is frequently used to describe skilled workers, corporate employees, or retirees who move abroad by choice, distinguishing them from refugees or migrants who may move due to necessity or hardship.
In many global cities, the word evokes the image of a distinct social bubble or community where individuals maintain the cultural habits of their home country while residing in a foreign land. It is a neutral to positive term in professional contexts but can occasionally be viewed critically as a label for those who avoid integrating into the local culture.
