What form does foreign independent contractor fill out to work at a company in the US while still in their country? They can't fill out a W-9 cause they aren't US citizen

My foreign independent contractor cannot fill out a W-9, so what other form would they need to fill out?

W-8BEN is the equivalent of a W-9 for foreign contractors.
