Wouldn't this be illegal in most countries? Most countries wont let you work on a tourist visa, and it is more difficult to get a working visa.

- hamhamed 11y agoNot necessarily, because it's work under the table (i.e you're not getting paid) meaning you're doing it for a friend/gift type of way
- kenko 11y ago"under the table" work doesn't mean you're not getting paid, it means your pay isn't reported to the relevant tax authorities. That doesn't make it less illegal.
- bdcravens 11y agoNo, if you're being compensated, that's pay. Otherwise it smacks of escorts' "You're paying me for time, anything that happens between two consenting adults ..." wink wink nudge nudge
- geomark 11y agoWorking for free is still working. It usually requires the right kind of visa and a work permit to remain legal. Do it on a tourist visa at your own risk.

- idlewords 11y agoYes, this is an effective way to get yourself deported
- geomark 11y agoAnd many places it's a hellish experience because before they kick you out of the country you get to spend some time in an immigration holding center which tend to be rather horrifying accommodations. Unlucky enough to get nabbed before a long holiday weekend? 3 or 4 days packed in with all sorts of people awaiting deportation, confined to your one square meter of space, with a hole in the floor for a toilet, and food unfit for human consumption. All you get from it is a story for a blog post.
