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

The temporary-residence permit is applied for at the internal-affairs Citizenship and Migration unit for the intended place of temporary residence. The statutory ground for this permit is having formally applied, in the manner set by law, for refugee status, complementary protection or asylum in Belarus. Decree No. 200 requires an application and proof of the statutory ground, with identity or travel and other documents as applicable; the special protection or trafficking ground may require additional authority records. The official source does not state where or how the protection application itself is lodged.
