Where does the [sic] go in this sentence?
I'm quoting a sentence that has an error in it.
...visitors need to need to apply for a temporary residence permit...
I don't want to correct the error, I want to quote it as it's written. But I want to put a [sic] in there. Where does the [sic] go? Also, should it be in (parentheses) or [brackets]?

... visitors need to need to [sic] apply for a temporary...
Editorial (your) additions are placed in square brackets.
