thread_title: Expat Explorer Survey Needs Cleanup

message: With increasing globalization the numbers of expats flaoting around the world are certainly increasing. Does anyone have some ideas about the numbers? May be numbers can be given by different categories of expats. 
The expat trends section should be removed unless reliable data can be found. The survey cited only samples some 30 people - clearly a very weak sample and serves to only misinform the reader. 
There is nothing 'blurry' about the difference between an expatriate and an immigrant. Expatriates owe no allegiance to their host countries, and they are not citizens of those countries. Comparing  Asians in Britain (most of whome are British citizens) with British expatriates in Asia (who, by definition, are not citizens of those countries), is not comparing like with like! A British expatriate in Saudi Arabia can be repatriated tomorrow- not so a British Asian in the UK, who has as much right to be there as a returned British expatriate.
:I disagree - for some people the distinction between expatriate and immigrant is non-existent. International mobility is such (for people who have the necessary resources) that it is possible to be both. Natgoo 18:16, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

text: You have to remember the definition isn't all inclusive. Immigrants are foreign persons who go to a country to take up perminent residence. Expats are individuals who leave their home country to live elsewhere. They're still immigrants, as they're foreign persons relocating to a country, however they're not necessarily renouncing allegiance or citizenship to their former country. Shadowrun 03:02, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I still don't understand it. Take a look at the Wiktionary article. An expatriate can be somebody who has renounced their former citizenship and country. As far as I can see, nearly every migrant is an expatriate of some other country. The exceptions would be migrants who have no memory or documentation of former countries. This makes parts of the current article nonsense. Tangerine Cossack 19:30, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't try to apply an overly technical definition to it. The term "immigrant" denotes a large group of people whom I see the term "expatriate" being a definition sub-divided therein. Not all immigrants choose to leave their countries, but expatriates do.  Shadowrun 03:33, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Yet, somebody made a comment above "i am also under the impression that to be an expat you must renounce citizenship in your former country; therefore, all expats are immigrants, but not all immigrants are expats.". This is exactly the opposite of what you say. If a word can't be defined, I don't see how it can be used, except in situations where the author is only trying to seed confusion.

replies: text:  Expatriates are not immigrants, they technically don't migrate either.  They're just the peculiar guests that never go home, mostly because they are uncomfortable when they are home.  You must consider the fact that the expatriate lifestyle is rather much older than you think.  In the days before passports (a development after WWI with the League of Nations), especially in Europe, people didn't consider divisions by national boundaries (even in the days of the emerging nation-state) and felt divided only in terms of class.  The upper classes, across national division, were actually well connected.  See for instance Renoir's movie Grand Illusion (1936) for a prime example of this.  The entire principle of the expatriate today is very similar in sentiment to the cosmopolitan nature of the upper classes in pre WWI society.  The lifestyle is seen as more unique now, only because the lower classes have fallen around this notion of "nationality" that perverts and limits the extent of their worldview.  In order to understand expatriates, you have to understand the Cosmopolitan Sensibility. —ExplorerCDT 22:45, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hmm, so would it be fair to say that only the upper and middle classes can be expats? The working classes become economic immigrants or guest workers instead?

replies: text: I've rarely seen lower classes do so. Initially, living abroad as an expat does take some startup capital, which often the lower classes cannot muster. Sure, in the long run, the life is cheaper than say living in the US, or UK, as a native, but that first year or so, setting up a new life abroad, is make or break...and usually the lower classes are broke before they would have a chance to start.  Secondly, the lower classes usually don't have the expansive education needed to appreciate such a lifestyle.  If you notice in history, most of the expats that are rather famous (like the Lost Generation folks in the 1920s), are either Ivy Leaguers, intellectual, or pseudo-intellectuals.  Usually upper class.  I won't say it's impossible, but it is very infrequent.  Perhaps part of the bias is that lower classes are not generally thought of doing anything but emigrating as steerage (the new form of which seems to be Hispanics crossing the desert southern border of the U.S.). —ExplorerCDT 16:28, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The popularity and trendiness for more upper-income and "liberal" minded American expats to live overseas has grown in the last decade, and there are over 4 (or upwards to 5 million) American "expats" worldwide.

It comes to show not all Americans prefer to live or stay in their land of birth, and they seek new opportunities or a different life in other countries, but a sudden growth in political "refugees" from the previous Bush administration known as "Kerryites" are liberals or registered Democrats whom threatened to leave the U.S. in Bush's re-election in 2004.

Once one unplugs from the American Matrix it is very difficult to go back, even if you are struggling in another country. I have a good friend who is an American expatriate who has difficult times in the country where he lives, but he told me something that I too agree with: A bad day in a foreign country is still better than a good day in America. I think he is right and this is something one can only understand by living outside the States for an extended period. Having said that i also suspect that the numbers from the government statistics are low for two reasons: 1. not all Americans who live outside the USA are 'official' expatriates so they are not accounted for on the government survey. 2. If there is a significant move of many Americans leaving the States the government would not want to disclose this to an already disillusioned general populace giving them ideas that they just might be happier living outside the anglosphere.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.82.72.31 (talk) 14:33, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Thus, "expats" and "immigrants" are the same thing, and the word "expat" is but a social marker. That is all.

So all immigrants would be expatriates but not all expatriates would be immigrants. The reference to the racial undertones in the word's usage should really be the subject of a section for colloquial and vernacular usage, as the dictionary definition isn't so much in question and makes no distinction of ethnicity or origin, but rather it is the discriminating usage of the term that creates this discriminatory racial context.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.253.192.220 (talk) 02:34, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

text: People from wealthy countries who reside in poorer countries are just more likely to be doing it on a temporary basis - they've been placed there by a business or something, and are just looking for something to put on their resume for a few years before moving back. While people moving from poorer countries to more wealthy countries are more likely to make their stay permanent. A lot of third world countries also have pretty harsh immigration laws that make fully integrating into society basically impossible. Still, it is noticeable that, for instance, a Pakistani moving to Japan, who has basically no chance of ever permanently integrating, would probably be called a "migrant", while an American living there would be called an "expat".138.162.0.41 (talk) 21:42, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

text: If you're from a richer country and go to a poorer then you're called an expat. For instance, a Japanese person who goes to Spain would be called an expat. A Korean who goes to Poland, expat. A Belarusian who goes to Qatar, not an expat. A Chinese person in Cambodia? Expat. A filipino in China? Not an expat. An American in Germany? Expat. A German in America? Expat. It doesn't mean that money isn't an incentivizing factor for expats, but then they are generally paid far higher than the average in the country they go to. For instance: Americans at Saudi Aramco, or Rosneft employees in Venezuela. So it's really not that difficult, and it would be mental to call a Japanese person in Spain an economic migrant, because Japan is a great power and quite wealthy, Spain is not. This also has other large implications as far as culture and life go. The life of a Taiwanese expat in Portugal will be far different than a Moldovan in Italy.

thread_title:  immigrant vs expat 

message: This article is more terrible than terrific. I think it can only be improved, if you put the very different concepts what expat can meet, beside of each other, instead of mixing them.
Just some brain-storming suggestions: 
e.g. 
1) legal concepts, based on citizenship and immigrant status:
a) Expats as non-immigrant foreigners (temporary residents)
b) Expats as immigrant foreigners (permanent residents) and non-immigrant foreigners 
2) social and/or cultural concepts
3) economic concepts of expat staff -> expats as dispatched foreigners vs. locally hired foreigners
As to the citizenship debate, I'd believe that switching citizenship would definitely mean the end of expat status.
Good luck, I do not envie you.

message: As I previously stated, in order to be adequately equipped, one of the things future expatriates must do is acquire knowledge about the culture they are entering into. The following is an explanation of some of the ways a person could go about in acquiring that knowledge. Before entering the host country, an expatriate must come to an understanding of the values, norms, beliefs, and behaviors patterns of the host culture.  Then, they should develop an appreciation, understanding, and acceptance of those things.   One way to acquire knowledge about the host country, is to take the Cognitive Approach.   This includes learning information about the country through lecture-type orientation.   Another way of learning is through fact-orientation.   This involves briefing of the environment and becoming oriented with the culture so that the expatriate may understand things of the host country such as the history, the geography, the religion, the people, and the economy.   One of the best, most recommended ways to acquire knowledge about the culture is through experiences.   This can be done through experiential exercises and cultural assimilators.   One may undergo field simulations or attend assessment centers to take part in experiential training.   Other forms of experiential training include role-playing, workshops, and simulations.   Taking part in the experiential training will allow the expatriates to develop a better understanding of the details, and host culture as a whole.  This will then contribute to the success of the expatriate. Field experiences can also be done in order to acquire more knowledge about this host culture.   This is where the expatriate goes into another culture for a short period of time, to get used to the feeling of being out of their homeland.

"The following is information on how to do so, as preparation is necessary for success as an expatriate. There are 6 basic steps to becoming an expatriate. These steps should be followed in order to prepare for expatriation. The first is to decide where you want to go, who will accompany you, and how long you want to go for. The second step is to find a job in your country of desire. Step three is to apply for the visa that you will need for your stay in that country. The next step is to wait for approval from the country.[25] In order to be adequately equipped, future expatriates must acquire knowledge about the culture they are entering into, become aware of the differences in culture they will encounter in their new place of living, and obtain competence in communicating cross-culturally. All of this does not happen immediately and adequate preparation time is needed before departing from one’s home country.[26] Some of the most psychologically challenging areas of expatriates are verbal communication behaviors, nonverbal communication behaviors, and work styles. Therefore, communication is the most important aspect for expatriate adaption, as it promotes benefits to psychological health upon entering into new cultures and countries. Future expatriates must be trained on the knowledge and understanding of how their host cultures function in communication. This will allow for success in expatriation.[24]

This, firstly, is a matter of opinion (not fact) and is clearly the POV of the author. As well as this it is factually incorrect. In the UK, EU immigrants (white) or non-EU European (white) immigrants are called 'immigrants' and not 'expats' despite being white. Therefore this article should be removed as a source page. It is biased and not factually correct, clearly just the POV of a certain writer (Mawuna Remarque Koutonin, who by the way is black, which explains his obvious bias). I mean what he writes is racist filth. "Most white people deny that they enjoy the privileges of a racist system. And why not? But our responsibility is to point out and to deny them these privileges, directly related to an outdated supremacist ideology. If you see those “expats” in Africa, call them immigrants like everyone else. If that hurts their white superiority, they can jump in the air and stay there.

message: Specifically, :Category:American expatriates in Italy. What is an expatriate? What about a student who studied for 4-6 years in Rome and came home to these USA right away, is that an expatriate? Does he qualify to be perpetually categorized as an expatriate even though he has returned? Does the category apply to everyone who has ever been an expatriate at any point in their lives?
