      I believe the difference is that an expat moved there non-permanently, while an immigrant moved there permanently

      Though if I ever somehow became an expat, I wouldn’t use the word because of how people associate it.

        Immigrant = Someone who has moved to another country permanently. Migrant = Someone who has moved to another country temporarily.

        Expat is often used by western migrants who don’t like the word “migrant”.

        I take issue with it because people classify an Indian doctor moved to the US as a migrant but an American doctor eho has moved to Europe is an expat.

        Migrant implies the non permanent kind because a permanent migrant is referred to as an “immigrant”.

        What’s the technical difference between a migrant and an expat?
