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 spouse of a Malagasy citizen is expressly included in the transformable long-stay category. The process begins with a one-month transformable visa before the long-stay application. The sources do not establish work rights, the final duration, or a route to independent or permanent residence.
