foreign visitor
Traveler from abroad
A foreign visitor is someone from another country who is temporarily present in a place.
The term appears in official contexts—immigration policy, tourism statistics, visa regulations—where it distinguishes non-citizens from residents: Foreign visitors must declare items at customs.
In everyday speech, it's more neutral than alternatives like foreigner or alien.
