A resident alien—one who temporarily resides in a place that is not their native home, particularly someone living among a people to whom they do not originally belong. The term carries the sense of being a sojourner with official or social status as an outsider, in contrast to full native membership. By extension, it also refers more broadly to anyone living as a temporary resident, emphasizing the transient or non-permanent nature of their stay.
