Can an Australian take a working holiday in Argentina or Peru?
Can an Australian take a working holiday in Argentina or Peru?
I am a 23 year old student, and I'm considering taking 6 months or a year of out of the course im doing to work in South America. I have been to South America twice in my life already so I know what to expect in both countries. My Spanish is.... intermediate. Not a beginner at all, but I'm years away from mastering the language.

Technically, if you want to get a job in Peru or Argentina you need a work visa. You usually need to have some skill or qualification and need to have a formal job offer. Otherwise, you would be working illegally. Nevertheless, as in any other country in the world, you could work for cash if you find a job that pays under the table.

I'm from Argentina, and you don't need a visa to work there, you just need a "cuil" isn't too hard to get it, and don't worry about the language, because in Buenos Aires there are people from all over the World, you can speak in English and people will understand you.

Short answer: Yes. As Sergio already pointed out, even without a working visa you may be able to get a job. However some of the easy jobs are not really well paid. Probably one of the best (and easy) options for you would be to teach English but you would need an acceptable Spanish.
