Like many things in academia, "visiting research scholar" is a very ambiguous term that, as is, means nothing. It can mean different things for different fields but also within one field. As is, the label does not tell us anything about this opportunity (length? funding? residency? dedication?). More information would allow for sound advice. 

I think of many "opportunities" colleagues of mine, students of mine, and me as a grad student took that could have been easily called "visiting research scholar." To answer your question, people have done something that could fall under that category, but doesn't mean they did what you are asking here.
