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 permit is granted for annual periods up to a total of six (6) years; for an extension (PPRT-FAM) the same requirements are submitted except the criminal record certificate and the cheques. The official source does not state the family member's rights or a path to independent or longer-term status.
