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 checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the application process, rights, duration and path to independent or longer-term status.

Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_SUSTENTA: 'USD 40' is not in any citation (the header excerpt omits the 'USD' line). 'So the status can be extended' is an inference from a listed extension fee. The form, 40/75/380 Non-Working row and ordinary-residence rule are cited.)

These are the answers currently recorded in the catalogue. A missing or partial answer is not an eligibility decision.
