10 types of Expats

Last year InterNations published their second annual Expat Insider survey. The expat organisation surveyed 14,000 of its 1.8 million members from around the world to assess the living situations and wellbeing of expatriates. With this wealth of quantitative and qualitative data, they defined 10 specific types of expats as shown in the infographic below.

Naturally, the 10 categories are not 100% inclusive – there will always be people who don’t fit neatly into one – but considering the size of the survey, it is the most representative data we have. Which type of expat are you? Or, if you haven’t yet taken the plunge, which would you likely be in the future?
