    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 application is made through the foreign residence-card procedure by completing the visa/residence-card application form and providing a marriage certificate issued by a Tunisian authority or legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a copy of a valid passport, proof of accommodation, four photographs and, if the spouse is salaried, a visa-endorsed work contract or a certificate that the work-contract visa requirement does not apply. The official source does not state the rights granted, how long the status lasts, or how it can become independent or longer-term.
