What term is used to describe people who are temporarily residing in a country?

The term "expatriates" refers specifically to individuals who are residing temporarily in a country other than their country of citizenship. This can include workers who have moved abroad for job assignments and individuals who live in a foreign country for personal reasons or lifestyle choices. Expatriates typically maintain their citizenship in their home country while living and working abroad for a certain period.

Other options do not accurately reflect the same concept. Tourists, for example, are individuals who travel to a foreign country for leisure and typically stay for a short time, but they do not establish residency. Immigrants, on the other hand, are people who relocate permanently to a new country, intending to settle there. "Temporary residents" is a broader term that may encompass various groups, including expatriates, but it is not the commonly used term in this context.
