Answer:

An expatriate

Step-by-step explanation:

An expatriate is a person that is living in another country often for work. Expatriates can be group as short term expatriates and long term expatriates.

An expatriate is not just migrating from his own country to another, he/ she is on a professional mission by the government or the company that he/she works for. So migrants differ from expatriates with their mission to the destination countries.

Kevin is a professional sent by Exxon Mobil to Saudi Arabia from Arkansas, so he is an expatriate.
