Thanks in advance.
You can get a cruise clearance because there is no requirement to have an instrument approach at the destination airport. You do not need an additional approach clearance.

However, as MeritFlyer said, a contact approach requires an operating IAP, so you probably cannot use those operating rules to get into the airport

I'd say you'd have to stay at IFR altitudes until you were able to conduct a visual approach.
