What immigration status and rights result, how long do they last, can family be included, and what happens if the special qualifying circumstance ends?
A visitor's entry permit to sojourn temporarily for the purposes and period, not exceeding 12 months, set by the immigration officer; it may be extended by up to 12 months at a time. When such a permit is issued, the immigration officer may issue a similar permit to the holder's spouse, dependent child or employee who accompanies or resides with the holder. It does not authorise employment, business, a profession or study.
