Hi,
Could anyone let me know that in case a family visa application is rejected by the LMRA, can we apply for a visit visa for that family member instead? Or is there a minimum period only after which we will be able to apply for the same.

You can apply for a visit visa.

It depends on why the application was rejected. If it wasn't a serious matter, the suggestion is to re-apply vs. applying for a visit visa as to convert the visit visa into a residence permit would take longer. Also not cost effective.

If it was a serious matter like a security rejection then the visit visa would also not be approved.

As per the new rule of BD400 requirement for family status, is it also applicable for issuing a visit visa also?
