"A statement attributed to Immigration NZ border and visa operations general manager, Nicola Hogg, said because Page was offshore at the time of his application, it was unable to be processed because of Covid-19 restrictions.
Page's application was approved after he arrived in the country...Once Mr Page entered New Zealand his application was able to be processed and it was approved on 4 February 2021,” Hogg said...His application included the appropriate documentation necessary and was assessed as meeting immigration requirements.”

"However, sources told Stuff that during Page’s managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) stay, there was pressure on officials for the billionaire to receive preferential treatment.Staff employed by Page, who were based in New Zealand and not in MIQ, asked for him to be moved to one of the higher-grade isolation facilities in downtown Auckland. It is understood this request was strongly resisted by MIQ officials within MBIE and the billionaire was not afforded special treatment in isolation."
