This is why some countries require you to have a certain amount of $$ in the bank when you arrive AND leave

I thought that when you enter different countries, visa restrictions require you to have a certain amount of money

I’ve seen it firsthand. Sometimes they make little crafts to sell. Or like display all of their belongings on the sidewalk to sell.

I understand the problem with begging, but what's the issue with making music or crepes or the like? cause that's just honest work for their money

Friend traveled to Europe with a one way plane ticket and couldn’t afford a way home. The first thing I book is a ROUND TRIP TICKET AND HOTEL.

I went in December and am going back in June. I have money on top of money when I go: I would hate to be there broke.

That’s why I do everything on the lowest budget. So I can’t run out. Got my hammock for rough times

begging I understand, but singing for money or selling crepes, it is a street job, what's wrong with that? it's not forcing on anyone.

Deirdre Shiels :
I’ve cut trips short because I knew I would run out of money sooner than I expected.No way would I be able to beg like I’ve seen people do in Thailand

the thing is there are other options, like work away where you can volunteer your time in return for food and accomodations

I used to host on couchsurfing a lot, and had so many people who just wanted a free hotel instead of meeting locals and learning the culture etc..

Seen some young twenty odd yr old British guys ask a supermarket worker stacking shelves if they could have some food for free (in Slovenia lake bled). They said no, felt so embrassed for them

Yep, … and they don't care. Should be laws against that. In some countries you cannot enter or get a visa unless you can show how long you will be there and how you plan to support yourself !!!

Agreed. And also, those side hustles you mentioned could be deployed by locals who really need the money.
