  • Argentina — https://www.argentina.gob.ar/normativa/nacional/ley-25871-92016/actualizacion
    Los extranjeros admitidos o autorizados como 'residentes transitorios' no podrán realizar tareas remuneradas o lucrativas, ya sea por cuenta propia o en relación de dependencia, con excepción de los incluidos en la subcategoría de 'trabajadores migrantes estacionales', o salvo que fueran expresamente autorizados por la Dirección Nacional de Migraciones de conformidad con lo dispuesto por la presente ley o en Convenios de Migraciones suscriptos por la República Argentina.

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

An extension, or a change of migration category or subcategory, must be applied for within the 10 days before a transitory residence expires (60 days for a temporary residence). Anyone who applies voluntarily within the 30 days after the deadline has passed pays a 50% surcharge on the extension fee. The official source does not state where the application is made.
