I believe GDPR applies to EU residents. I believe the complication is that it also applies if they are travelling outside of the EU, but not if they become resident outside of the EU.

Not only residents (in the sense of having a permanent home in the EU):

For example, it also applies to people which are traveling and are currently located in EU territory (provided that a service is intended to be used by EU residents).
