If you want to travel through New Zealand on your way to another country, you might need a special pass called a transit visa. Usually, there are rules about who can get this visa. But sometimes, the Minister or an immigration officer can decide to give you a transit visa even if you don't fit the usual rules. They can do this if they think it's the right thing to do, and they don't have to explain why. This decision is entirely up to them.
