Asking for a friend.

The guy got a project in samui for next April. Hes got specific dates and need to bring himself and 4 of his staff.

It is only for 3 weeks and he doesn't have a Thai company. What visa options he got to make it legal?

Can he be invited by the company that offered him the job? Is there any short term working prmit for spcipic dates?

Answer summary

A person and his four staff members need to work in Koh Samui for a specific project lasting three weeks without being affiliated with a Thai company. The recommended route is to obtain a Non-Immigrant B visa, which allows for short-term work, supported by an invitation from a registered Thai company. Depending on their nationalities, they may need tourist visas if not eligible for visa exemption.

The Non Immigrant B visa and yes the work permit can be limited to a specific time frame as example for artist to perform a few nights, to special projects.

I believe an invitation from a Thai company, to perform a limited time professional work, is the right way in this case.

Nope, they need to visit the Thai Embassy in their home country and apply for the Non Immigrant B visa To get this visa meet the requirements set by that Embassy.

Moshe Dahan I agree but the OP stated he does not have a Thai Company. But it sounds like he and his employees are coming to work on a limited project for a Thai Company.

What are nationalities of participants?

Each one will need to apply for a tourist visa if not eligible for visa exempt on arrival. Otherwise...will need Thai Company to invite. If registered Thai company.
