expatriated
Moved abroad permanently
Expatriated means sent or gone to live outside one's native country.
The term can describe voluntary departure—someone who expatriated to Paris for the art scene—or forced removal, as when a government expatriates dissidents.
It also applies to renouncing citizenship: He expatriated himself to avoid taxes.
The past tense works as an adjective: expatriated workers, expatriated wealth.
