His Eminence Ayatollah Khamenei (may God protect him):
In this case, the ruling is the same as for all travelers, which means he should shorten his prayers and his fasting is not valid.

His Eminence Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect him):
If he intends to continue this for 3 months out of two years or 6 months out of one year, he is considered a frequent traveler and should apply the rules of travel for all his journeys.
