I was a on a tourist visa here for about 5 years.I was not classed as a resident of the UK by the UK.I think you are correct, that here they still class you as a resident of your home country.

AlwaysRt Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Not sure where the residency part comes into the conversation? Expat definition: Oxford Dictionary "A person who lives outside their native country" wikipedia "An expatriate (often shortened to expat) is a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country other than that of their citizenship. In common usage, the term often refers to professionals or skilled workers sent abroad by their employers, who can be companies, governments, or non-governmental organisations.[1] Effectively migrant workers, they usually earn more than they would at home, and more than local employees. However, the term 'expatriate' is also used for retirees and others who have chosen to live outside their native country. Historically, it has also referred to exiles" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
