Expatriate refers to an employee who is temporarily or permanently relocated to work in a foreign country for their organization. Expatriates are often hired for specialized roles, leadership positions, or global expansion initiatives, requiring them to adapt to new work environments and cultures.

For industries like manufacturing, retail, logistics, and facility management, managing expatriates involves work permits, taxation, compensation adjustments, and compliance with international labor laws. Employers provide relocation support, housing allowances, and cultural training to ensure a smooth transition and maximize productivity in the host country.
