It is “expat” for expatriate but it applies to anyone who lives in a country other than one they are a citizen of (not that I have ever heard it for anyone other than Americans living in SEA or South America, which I think is your point). I’ve never heard it in reference for work, only people who had cash (retirement or settlement) moving to a less expensive region to make it go further.
You’ll mostly hear it in reference to white migrants to places like the UAE who work high income jobs or teach English who have no intention of staying long term.
Exactly, egg…
