We can determine the correct answer with the help of logic and by eliminating the incorrect answer.

'To' is used to indicate direction, purpose, limit, attachment, comparing and
'In' is used to indicate place, time, position, occupation, state, subject or matter. The second part of the sentence indicates his stay within the country. So, 'in'must fulfill the second blank. Thus option A is the correct answer.
