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: Warehouse and driver jobs have no work visa; the H-2B covers only a temporary need, and its numbers for starts before 1 April 2027 were used up by 4 Sep 2026.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: H-2B petitions for commercial drivers must show English skills (order of 28 Apr 2025; visas issued after 15 Jun 2026 count as proof).
Official source: USCIS: H-2B temporary non-agricultural workers. Checked November 2026.

| Flights | Varies; a joining flight is common for senior hires, home flights are rare |
| Contract | At will, no fixed term; E-3 permits run 2 years, TN and H-1B up to 3, then renew; H-2B 3 years at most |

Senior staff often get more than line staff, for example a single room or a yearly home flight. Ask the employer what the job includes before you accept.
