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?

Apply to the High Commission within two months of arrival (or before the long-stay visa expires), even with a long-stay visa that counts as a residence title, and renew within the 2 months before expiry. The Visitor card is a one-year temporary card (temporary cards last at most one year). The High Commission states that titles issued for these purposes do not give access to the resident card. The Visitor card does not permit professional activity.
