Is it possible for my one-year-old daughter to travel with me as a dependent in New Zealand?
Yes, your one-year-old daughter can travel with you to New Zealand as a dependent while you study. Children under 5 who are not in school usually receive a Visitor Visa, which allows them to stay with you but does not permit full-time schooling.
You will need to show proof of your relationship (such as a birth certificate) and demonstrate sufficient funds for her stay - typically at least NZD $1,000/month per child, or NZD $400/month if accommodation is prepaid. Visa policies are subject to change.
