When you are in transit, the visa consulate may request that you provide a cover letter for transit visa purposes in order for them to better appreciate the necessity for your visa acceptance. Couldn’t you simply rebook the flight? Couldn’t you pursue a different path? Your cover letter’s trip objective section must have a compelling rationale.
