If you have a New Zealand refugee travel document, the Minister can recall it. The Minister can do this under section 27GA. When the Minister recalls your document, they can either cancel it or keep it.
The Minister's power to recall your document is added to section 27D, after subsection 1, which you can find linked to the Passports Act 1992. This means the Minister has more control over your refugee travel document. You should be aware of this when you have a New Zealand refugee travel document.
