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?
As a residence card under this law, validity cannot exceed 1 year and cannot exceed the validity of the holder's travel documents; the holder must leave Djibouti before the card's expiry unless it is renewed. The official source does not state the application process, the holder's rights or a path to longer-term status.
