Common rejection reasons
Common NG entry issues (LOW at Niue, but NZ transit is barrier): (1) NZ Transit Visa requirement (Nigerians can't use NZeTA, ~50-60% rejection) — primary barrier; (2) Limited flight schedule (Air NZ Auckland-Niue twice weekly); (3) Insufficient funds for high-cost remote destination; (4) Accommodation must be pre-booked; (5) Essentially zero Nigerian travel volume.
