2.Member States shall require the persons referred to in paragraph 1 to reside for a period not exceeding 12 weeks in locations at or in proximity to the external border or transit zones. Where a Member State cannot accommodate such persons in those locations, it may resort to the use of other locations within its territory. The 12-week period shall start from the date on which the applicant, third-country national or stateless person no longer has a right to remain and is not allowed to remain. The requirement to reside at a particular location in accordance with this paragraph shall not be regarded as authorisation to enter into or stay on the territory of a Member State. The conditions in those locations shall meet the standards equivalent to those of the material reception conditions and healthcare in accordance with Articles 19 and 20 of Directive (EU) 2024/1346 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote as they apply to persons still considered to be applicants.
