Working abroad while vacationing?

Working abroad while vacationing?
I'm going to Buenos Aires for the winter, 2011. I was wondering if anyone has ever worked abroad while vacationing. I want to stay for the winter, but I'm not going to "party" and lie around for three months. I obviously need to make some money to support myself for that time. I'm expecting some random job working in a clothing store. Anyone had any experience in this department? To all the clowns out there, prostitution isn't an option, nor is it an original "funny" response.

Not a country on earth that allows people there as tourists to work. Laws are very strict, and employers do not want to pay the fines incurred if they hire someone without a work visa. To get a work visa, you must find an employer to hire you and verify he cannot find a Brazilian citizen to do the job. there are several hundred dollars in fees and it takes a while. Way to complicated, unlikely for you to get for a temp. job. You can contact the nearest Brazilian consulate in the U.S. to ask about work visas.

Charlie!!!! Buenos Aires is in Argentina NO BRAZIL!!! In theory you can't work legally under a tourist visa. There are a big "under the table" employment in Argentina, you can look for some casual works too (not prostitution!) but in a Clothing store is difficult because you are exposed all the time.

yes you can work here for the winter season. Another possibility is looking for some work related with english speaking or translates...But I really don't know. The real stuff is if you know spanish pretty well to work in a clothing store, check it before you come here. Good luck and I guess you will spend a cool winter in Bs As.
