Resident alien

Tax Glossary Definition

Resident alien

A resident alien is a person who resides in a country but holds citizenship of another nation. Such individuals are typically subject to taxation on their worldwide income in the country where they reside, similar to local citizens, depending on the duration of stay and residency rules.

Example: An American citizen living and working in India for several years may be classified as a resident alien in India for tax purposes while still remaining a U.S. citizen.
