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 that complementary protection has been granted 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.
