family visit leave
"Family visit leave can be availed if the immediate family (spouse/parents) do not live together with the employee. In such a case, leave days for a visit to a spouse can be up to 30 days per year and leave days for a visit to parents can be up to 20 days per year (single employees) and up to 20 days per 4 years (married employees)."

XIN CHEN
: I agree with this one. The standard and formal term for “假” used in the UK is 'leave'. A few examples are annual leave，compassionate leave, sick leave, maternity leave. So similarly, 'family visit leave' makes perfect sense.

Paid time-off for relative-visiting
In English, it is just "vacation time", but if you can reflect the Chinese characteristics, you can use "Paid time-off for relative-visiting"

home leave
There is no exact corresponding expression, the closest one is 'home leave' - holiday time for a person who works abroad, during which they can go home.
Normally an employee takes their annual leave to visit relatives or have a holiday. If the relative is very sick, they may take carer's leave or compassionate leave.

family reunion leave
“探亲假”可以用family reunion leave表示，休假事由是，与配偶或父母不住在一起，又不能在公休假日（public holidays）团聚。在现实生活中,有些年轻人、台湾同胞、港澳同胞、海外华人或没听说过，或不知道探亲家的真正含义。
