No it’s just about moneymaking and education level. If you’re a foreigner and highly educated and get a good paying job like IT consultant or doctor, you’re an expat. If you’re low educated and get a low paying job like construction or factory or no job, you’re a migrant. One is liked more than the other, hence the difference they make. The first doesn’t speak local language, but does speak English, and few people care. The second doesn’t speak local language and no English and is disliked for it.How long you stay is not very relevant. AfD doesn’t hare expats as much as other migrants, for example…
Is this the same as a migrant?
Yes, as long as they’re also white and middle/upper class!
No, the way it’s often used is closer to “posh guest worker”.

Migrant implies the non permanent kind because a permanent migrant is referred to as an “immigrant”.
What’s the technical difference between a migrant and an expat?
I believe the difference is that an expat moved there non-permanently, while an immigrant moved there permanently
Though if I ever somehow became an expat, I wouldn’t use the word because of how people associate it.
Immigrant = Someone who has moved to another country permanently. Migrant = Someone who has moved to another country temporarily.
Expat is often used by western migrants who don’t like the word “migrant”.
I take issue with it because people classify an Indian doctor moved to the US as a migrant but an American doctor eho has moved to Europe is an expat.

I did point out that I would not use the word myself, which was entirely for that reason.
