Online EOI with child less than 1 year old

I'm in the process of submitting my EOI online and have done everything except one question. My daughter is 9 months old and I have entered her correct DoB.

But with question P10: "Please list all countries, including all countries of citizenship, Louise Salmoni has lived in for a total of 12 months or more in the last 10 years. Include all countries where Louise Salmoni's stay has been broken by any departures."

I cannot enter anything valid here.

Putting her birthday in as 'From' and this month as 'To' gets the error message, "To from must be at least 12 months after from date'.

If I change her 'To' date to march (3 months before she was born), I am told, "Date from must be on or after date of birth".

I also cannot remove the entry as there is a minimum of one, but as my daughter is less than 1 year old, I can't change anything. The only way around it to enter her DoB incorrectly to explain later?

Has anyone else encountered this problem and how did you get around it?

I'd email NZIS, but if they don't have anything helpful to say I'd take her off and add her back on when you get your ITA.

hi welsh italian,

your question was exactly the same as mine, and this is the answer from INZ. It works !

'Thank you for taking advantage of our Online Help facility.

You will need to put his date of birth under "FROM" then leave "TO" blank and put country as New Zealand '

good luck then...
