The last time a friend of mine went there for work (I personally only went there for an internship with a 90days tourist visa to avoid embassy bullshit), they asked him to apply for a visa with a bureaucracy like the one we have here in France : "you have to go back to France to apply for the visa there in the Paris embassy".
If you want a economically more active country, you might consider Chile too, but I don't know anything about visas there.
I don't know, I stayed in the legal area.
I was in Mendoza, so I went to Chile 2 week-ends to get a new 90 days visa each time, but I was legal : my internship wasn't compensated.
