For Hunt processes on Rd, strong and weak transience is defined by finiteness and infiniteness, respectively, of the expected last exit times from closed balls. Under some condition, which is satisfied by Lévy processes and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type processes, this definition is expressed in terms of the transition probabilities. A criterion is given for strong and weak transience of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type processes on Rd, using their Lévy measures and coefficient matrices of linear drift terms. An example is discussed.
