Question: If a person stays in one place for eight days, he is considered a resident as you mentioned. But for how many days can he wipe over his socks?

Answer: A person who stays in one place for eight days is considered a resident from the first day. Therefore, he follows the same rules as a resident, which means he will pray the full prayers and can wipe over his socks for one day and one night, just like a resident.
