If your application for residence is successful, visas will be issued for each person on the application. Each visa has a date printed on it by which it MUST be activated, by the passport being scanned at the airport of entry to NZ, otherwise that visas lapses. However, as long as your daughter makes one visit to NZ before the date stated, to activate her visa, she can go straight back again if that is what you decide, and after that, if you fulfil the requirements to get Permanent Residence (the further visa you can qualify for after at least two years in NZ), you will be qualifying on behalf of her as well, without her having to do anything herself.
