Where can protection be requested, and is this a direct application, border/in-country request, referral or other process?

This visa is granted inside Angola, with authorisation from the head of the Migration Authority, rather than by a diplomatic or consular mission. For victims of criminal offences or labour-law violations, confirmation from the competent judicial authority or the General Labour Inspectorate is needed, and the victim must show a clear willingness to cooperate with the authorities in the investigation. The official source does not state the application form or steps.

What happens after the request: registration, family handling, major support and rights where officially stated?

The Temporary Stay Visa is granted for periods of 6 months, renewable until the conclusion of the respective process. The permission is protective and purpose-limited and does not create a general unrestricted employment right. The official source does not state registration steps, family handling or support during the process.
