Liam Payne’s visa complications
After encountering some visa complications, the singer wanted to renew his “extraordinary visa” in Buenos Aires with plans to visit his girlfriend Kate Cassidy in Florida. Reportedly, Liam’s past substance abuse situations hindered the approval of his visa and left him stranded in Argentina.
Even though Bedroom Floor had talked about going to rehab and said he was sober before he died, sources suggested that his visa was likely to be approved just two days after falling from the hotel balcony. Close friends noted that he had timed his visit to the embassy to coincide with Horan’s concert.
A source told Mail Online, “One question on the form asks, ‘Have you ever abused alcohol or drugs?’ Liam’s problems with drugs and alcohol are well documented. It is widely known that That he went to rehab in America, so he had to tick the box, and because of that, he had to undergo medical tests. He had to be examined by a doctor and a psychiatrist.” He added, “All of this took time. So Liam was forced to stay in Buenos Aires longer than he planned.”
Liam’s O-1 visa is for individuals with extraordinary abilities, including artists, athletes, and others who have achieved extraordinary success.

Liam’s eligibility for visa
Some friends assured me that Liam had passed the medical and psychological conditions to get the green light for a visa.
