That should answer it:
Expat-expats
What is an expat?
Expat vs. Immigrant[/quote]

Thanks – I knew this topic had to have been discussed to death before. Also, after reading the above there seems to be no non-contra dictionary definite definition.

[quote]
expat (expatriate): n. (-t, -t)

  1. One who has taken up residence in a foreign country.
  2. One who has renounced one’s native land.

immigrant: n.

  1. A person who leaves one country to settle permanently in another. [/quote]

So you can be an immigrant and an expat at the same time ; cool ; now see if I can apply for benefits…
