Is digital nomad the new expat?

Kind of.

Think of it like a retiree trying to find a place to live where their salary isn't tied to the local economy. It opens up a lot of places with a relatively low living expenses and high quality of life.

They are immigrants, but they are immigrants with money.

To immigrate anywhere you need quite a bit of money so immigrants usually have money. Like the travel alone is quite costly, not to mention housing.
