They went to see a band, and ended up offering to help them sell their CDs at their live shows. They band was flattered that they wanted to help, but they could not allow them to do so because they did not have a work visa. Even if they were not going to be paid, those who oversee such things would have seen it differently. In order to do any type of work, you have to have the working visa no matter what. Some take a longer vacation and get temporary work while in another country so that they can stay longer. This requires a working visa, even when the main purpose of the visit is for fun and pleasure. Even innocently selling CDs for a band with no payment can cause trouble.
