Charge on a person not from here (5)

I believe the answer is:

alien

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'charge on a person' is the first definition.
'alien' can be an answer for 'person' (alien is a kind of person). I am not sure about the 'charge on a' bit.

'not from here' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alien that I've seen before include "Stranger" , "Clanger?" , "extraneous" , "Foreign (from outer space?)" , "24a [ESTRANGE]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
