Do citizens of a country have to be residents of this country?

1) Citizens are more relative to the country and residents are relative to their place of residence.

2) Citizens have legal connotations, and residents are more commonly known, and the two overlap. For example, China citizens must have China nationality, which involves the civil rights conferred by the Constitution, such as the right to vote and to be elected. However, a foreign citizen who has been in China for a long time may be a China resident with a residence permit and an identity card, but he is not a citizen of China.

3) Definition

A citizen refers to a person who has the nationality of a country and enjoys rights and obligations according to the laws of that country.

Residents refer to people or legal persons who have been engaged in production and consumption in their own countries for a long time, and citizens of other countries who meet the above conditions may also belong to their own residents. At this time, residents can be divided into natural residents and legal person residents.
