To be eligible for things like a GDPR Data deletion request etc, is it enough that I am a citizen or must I be a resident? ty :)

GDPR can only extend to their borders, the same that any country’s laws extend to theirs. Why would you expect another country to honor your “home rules”?
It does. When GDPR was about to be placed in effect, the company I worked for in Brazil, send a communication to all our clients saying that they needed to communicate us if they were in Europe for us to process their claims (life insurance) with a third party European partner because the Brazilian office would not be able to comply with European regulations and the company would not even going to answer emails from clients located there. Eventually Brazil made their own data protection laws based on the European one and the company re opened contact with their clients located there.
Borders on the Internet get weird. Effectively, as quoted above, GDPR applies if you do business in the EU even if you aren’t there. Things are murkier if you’re not in the EU when the data gathering takes place and the operator is outside as well, though.
Also, not technically a country.
I think they’re asking because they’re not citizens but still living in the EU.
it’s the inverse
My mistake!
