'travel overseas to get home' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'travel overseas to get home' is the wordplay.
'travel overseas' becomes 'emigre' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to get' is an insertion indicator.
'home' becomes 'at home' (synonyms).
'emigre' placed around 'at' is 'EMIGRATE'.
