Why does it cost more to employ expatriates than to recruit locals? please

The reasons for the high cost of expatriates are as follows:

First of all, expatriates need to pay higher wages and allowances, as well as extra living and accommodation expenses. Secondly, expatriates also need to pay round-trip air tickets, visa fees and other related transportation and travel expenses. In addition, expatriates need to provide additional insurance and benefits to ensure their safety and welfare in foreign countries. Finally, expatriates may need to receive additional training and education during their work to adapt to the culture and working environment of the target country, which will also increase costs.
