According to Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
If the traveler arrives before noon to their hometown or to the place where they intend to stay for ten days, and they have not consumed anything that breaks the fast, they must fast. However, if they have consumed something that breaks the fast, they must make up for it later. If they arrive after noon, their fast is not valid.

According to Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
If a traveler has not consumed anything that breaks the fast until they enter their country or a place where they intend to stay, if they enter before noon, it is obligatory for them to fast that day, and it is sufficient for them. If they enter after noon, they are not required to fast, and if they do fast, it is not sufficient according to the strictest precaution. If they consumed something that breaks the fast during their travel and then entered their country, it is recommended for them to refrain from eating until sunset.
