    I have been doing some research into visas and entry requirements, hope I understand it right

    It seems that IT Specialists are highly regarded not sure how they work that one out given some of the characters I have worked with over the years

    Anyway, travel for Business reasons, you still need to produce a negative test but don't need to isolate.

    For a work Visa, you don't need a degree if you have plenty of experience, although I am not sure who validates that ? and IT is listed as well as the UK in a sub section where the requirements are not that difficulet.

    However the Visa processing agency is shut in the UK at the moment !!!

    Maybe if I am successful I would get taken on by the UK office and if I need to travel for any reason it can be business trips, then I apply for my visa and eventually get transferred to the German office once people start working back in the offices, and yes I might be strange but I have no problem being in the German system full time and legally, no desire for any "schemes" at this stage of my life I just want to settle down over there.

    Hi , one of the other big Indian consultancies has contacted me so I’m not sure what’s going on. I did some research into the last years since the PostBank acquisition !! Interesting times for sure

    What about contracting in Europe under the UK-EU Brexit deal?

    Anyone on this project in Eschborn already ? How is it going and what chances for a Brit to join now and get a Visa etc ?
    Had some initial discussions but the Agency don’t seem very clued up yet ������
    Thanks

    I'm not sure what is involved since Brexit though. There is no trade agreement for services so how exactly this will work in practise I have no idea.
    I would imagine that most German clients would just look within the EU to save paperwork.
    Not a problem, Software services aren't regulated. In the German company I worked for we had developers all over the world.

    no visa needed for that.... if you can find an agency who'll pay either a UK company, or umbrella.
