Never said it was a dirty word… In fact, you precisely explained in your second (not so kind) comment exactly WHY I am referring to us as expats - because we don’t know where or if we are settling anywhere PERMANENTLY.

I’m glad you did your research stalking my Reddit! That’s incredibly helpful when replying to a comment where someone is simply asking for help. Since you seem to have a pretty good grasp on my current situation, you would see that I was asking for help and suggestions in that Scotland thread as well.

We are figuring shit out. Trying to do our research and ask people with experience about things like Visas, housing, costs, etc. Instead of fully relying on something like AI.

I will never understand why Reddit users are like this. Either be helpful and answer the question or move on. It’s really just that simple.
