Overseas Citizen

An Overseas Citizen refers to individuals who hold a citizenship or residency status in a country but reside outside of that country. In specific contexts, such as India, the term relates to people of Indian origin who have migrated abroad but retain certain citizenship privileges. These citizens can usually visit, work, or invest in their home country with fewer restrictions compared to foreigners. However, they do not hold full citizenship rights, such as voting or holding government positions. This status helps maintain a connection between the individual and their country of origin while living abroad.
