I don't believe there is a specific word in English that corresponds to this. "Expatriate" and "prodigal" give a very rough idea of this, but don't mean the same thing. This is apparently because in English people like to explain at length why someone went away, where he/she is living now (if they even know), and only comes back on holidays.
