I was wondering what does "one-time resident" mean. Does it mean a person that lives in a place for a short period of time?
No. It means someone who lived there at sometime in the past but doesn't live there anymore. [ Don't say ' an one-time resident', say 'a one-time resident'.

'People often at greatest risk when traveling are those visiting a country which they
think of as their place of origin, where members of their family life and their roots may
be. People often believe that as one-time residents who may have been born and raised
there, they have natural immunity.'
