Who needs it?
People who are facing extreme hardship, danger, or persecution in their home country, such as Ukrainians seeking asylum due to the ongoing conflict, are the typical applicants for humanitarian residence.

Additional details
While some countries, like Norway, require a visa to seek asylum, others like Slovakia, do not require a visa for the registration process. However, note that each country has their own process and requirements for granting humanitarian residence.
Remember that it is also possible to seek help from organizations that specialize in assisting refugees or asylum seekers. They can provide much-needed advice and aid during this process. The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) is one of such organizations.
