Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?

The inviting organisation or legal entity submits an official request letter; a copy of the C4 applicant's passport and residence permit is required. The Law on the Legal Status of Foreign Nationals provides for residence permits for family members of a foreign national who has obtained a residence permit for private purposes (Article 28.1).

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

The official request letter from the inviting organisation must state the relationship to the principal; "family member" means someone with proof of the relationship. The page lists "other necessary documents" but names no specific relationship certificate.

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?

Applicants apply for the residence permit at the Immigration Agency of Mongolia within 21 days after entry, and first-time applicants must attend in person to register biometric data (fingerprints, photos). Processing takes 5 working days (standard) or 3 working days (expedited); the fee is 135.000₮ standard or 255.000₮ expedited, plus 7$ per person for the residency card. The permit period is based on the main C4 applicant's employment period. The official source does not state the rights granted or any route to independent or longer-term status.
