Hello

She can't apply for a visitor visa. Once you apply for any settlement route in the UK and get a refusal, you won't qualify for a visitor visa.

Would you mind sharing the refusal letter? (please hide any personal details, reference numbers...)

Your sister almost certainly does not qualify for an EFM Residence Card or Family permit because she does not meet the definition of an Extended Family Member.
Free Movement Rights: extended family members of EEA nationals wrote:From 1 February 2017 the rights of extended family members only applies to relatives of the EEA national and not to relatives of the EEA national’s spouse or civil partner. This means that an extended family member can no longer rely on their relationship to the EEA national’s spouse or civil partner in order to meet the requirements of regulation 8. Instead, they must show that they are related to the EEA national.(Page 8)
Also, Extended Family Members (such as your sister, the sister-in-law of the EEA citizen) can't apply under the EU Settlement Scheme.

The EU Settlement Scheme is only open to EEA citizens, their family members (spouse, children and parents) and those extended family members who have already been issued an EFM Residence Card.

I am not sure that what you have written is the law. You may well be correct that such is the UKVI policy and the regulation may indicate so. However in paragraph 17 of the Supreme Court judgement in SM(Algeria), the court did not accept that approach. A more recent unreported tribunal decision also states that, and very correctly, that the regulations is very restrictive.

I know that the Home Office has been inconsistent in the application of this policy regarding the definition of the Extended Family Member of an EEA national.

Summer 2017, well after that Feb 1st, 2017 change, I sponsored someone from my wife's family. The person was living with us a the time under a PBS visa. Still, the application worked immediately and without any question from the Home Office. If they wanted to refuse it, they had a very easy option by claiming the person is not from my family but my wife's family.
