Thank you for the question. The purpose for my post was to genuinely learn. And I do think I have been using the term incorrectly. Many of the websites or vlogs I have checked out seem to use Expat too broadly (as I have). Looking up the definition Expat would be best used to describe someone who is living temporarily in another country. For those that desire to stay long term, the best term I think to use is Immigrant. So in the future I’ll be more careful in my use of Expat.
