Can I work in Hawaii?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: No ordinary visa for hotel jobs; a J-1 traineeship of up to 12 months is the realistic route.
Official source: USCIS: working in the United States. Checked November 2026.
