But, visibility is reported in RVR below 1500m, why is VIS here stated at 800m ?

Not really. Perhaps you're thinking of the fact that visibility above 1500m is normally not reported as RVR.

RVR can be reported only when measured by suitable equipment, and is given for a specific runway direction in the format RXX/XXXX.

Visibility, a more general all round assessment, can indeed be reported as such below 1500m (E.g. showing 0300 on my location's METAR right now - time for coffee!)
