The tourist visa I applied for online was rejected, can I switch to visiting relatives instead?

Of course it is possible, but it is generally not recommended. Even if you have direct relatives abroad, it is recommended to apply for a tourist visa, because visiting relatives requires reviewing the information of both domestic and foreign parties, while traveling only reviews domestic applicants. If you apply for a family visit with the information of one party, you must first be an immediate relative before you can apply for a family visit visa, and the information of both the foreign and domestic parties must be good before it can be approved. Travel application is relatively simple, as long as the domestic applicant has good information, it can be approved. If the applicant's information is poor and he or she has relatives abroad, it will be as if there are still people abroad to assist him, and the tendency to immigrate will be even more serious. It is easier to refuse a visa; if the visa applicant's information is good, but if the information of the foreign relative is not good, it will also lead to a rejection of the visa, such as whether the foreign relative's status is legal, whether the job is stable, whether there is a stable residence, whether the assets are sufficient, and whether the tax payment is sufficient. Enough waiting will affect the visa approval rate.

To sum up, if the applicant’s information is good and there are relatives abroad, that is the icing on the cake. If the client’s information is good, it is natural to have relatives abroad; if the applicant’s information is poor and there are relatives abroad, it will be worse. .
