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/travel evidence, photographs and proof of the statutory ground, with additional records by applicant category.

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