Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peter is a host-country national because he is working for a company headquartered in a different country than where he is working. He is not an independent contractor, as he is likely an employee of the organization. He is also not a third-country national, as that term typically refers to individuals who are working in a country different from both their home country and the country of their employer. Lastly, he is not an expatriate as he is not a citizen of the country where the headquarters are located and is therefore not considered to be working abroad.
