Where can protection be requested, and is this a direct application, border/in-country request, referral or other process?
The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm where and how protection is requested.

Limits of the record- Searched the page for where or how the request is made (in-country, border, referral or direct application); it lists eligibility and evidence (proof of abuse, relationship, inability to return) but the 'How to pay and submit' content is not in the capture.
What happens after the request: registration, family handling, major support and rights where officially stated?
The resident visa lets the holder work in any occupation for any employer and study in New Zealand, and travel in and out until travel conditions expire 2 years after first arriving as a resident; dependent children aged 24 and younger can be included if single and either 17 or younger, or 18–24 with no children of their own.
