An exile was an individual who lived away from their native land. This could be because they chose to, or they were sent away and denied permission to return. The term of exile could also describe the sentence itself.

After the newly-regenerated Sixth Doctor nearly killed Peri and then regained his senses, he decided to exile himself on Titan III as punishment until he had attained appropriate humility and control. (TV: The Twin Dilemma)
The Rani was exiled from Gallifrey after some of her lab mice, as a result of an experiment, grew to enormous size and ate the Lord President's pet cat. They also bit the President himself, triggering a regeneration. (TV: The Mark of the Rani)
