What is important for proving marriage, partnership, parentage, custody, dependency or another qualifying relationship?

The temporary-residence process requires an application and documents proving the legal ground. The law identifies the relationship category but does not list every acceptable civil-status or kinship record.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

The permit is issued for the period of stay and normally no longer than one year. A temporary resident must live at the address recorded for the permit and report a move to the new local migration unit within three working days, and must leave before the permit expires unless another lawful basis or permit applies. The official source does not state the rights granted or any path to independent or longer-term status.
