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

For an in-country application, Decree No. 200 procedure 12.7.1 directs the applicant to the Citizenship and Migration unit for the intended permanent residence and requires an application, autobiography, identity or travel evidence, photographs and proof of the statutory ground, with additional records by applicant category.
