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 must not be applied for unless directed by the Department of Immigration; the application is made with a covering letter to the Director General of Immigration/Regional Immigration Officer. The permit specifies its conditions and validity, with no period over ninety days without the Director-General's approval; renewal requires a covering letter giving reasons and the prescribed fee. The official source does not state work rights or a path to longer-term status.

  • Statutory text read is the Immigration and Deportation Act No. 18 of 2010 together with Amendment Act No. 19 of 2016 as published on the Department site; any later amendments were not checked.
