Preferred term

virtual expatriates  

Definition

  • A “traditional” expatriate is an executive or employee of a company who relocates—often with his or her family or significant other—to the country in which the expatriate assignment is located. In contrast, a virtual expatriate does not physically relocate to the host country. [Source: Encyclopedia of Career Development; Virtual Expatriates]
