What Microsoft explicitly states (from Partner Center guidance and Q&A):
- When an application is closed with no appeal, that decision only applies to that specific submission

- Partners may reapply as soon as they are able to fully meet the verification requirements
What’s strongly recommended in practice:
- Do not reapply immediately unless something has materially changed
- Reapplying without fixing the underlying issue almost always results in another rejection
- Microsoft guidance consistently emphasizes correcting all legal, business, domain, and employment verification gaps first, then submitting a new application
