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

While an application for a residence permit under the Special Act is being processed, the applicant may be accommodated in a reception house in Tórshavn; this is not a requirement, and the applicant can also reside privately, with family or friends. The official source does not state registration steps, family handling or other rights during the process.
