    I would simply ring the number or send an e-mail and ask.

    Basically if you have a contract or a firm offer then you can travel to Düsseldorf before you start to apply for one.
    Two things:

    - Germany will be closing it's borders within the next couple of days to British people for an unspecified length of time and if you can get in, then there is the quarantine
    - The Blue Card is not all it is cracked up to be:

    The EU Blue Card is a temporary residence permit that is issued for a period of four years as a matter of principle. If the duration of the employment contract is shorter than four years, the EU Blue Card is issued for the duration of the employment contract, plus three months. It can be extended if the requirements are met. A permit from the competent immigration authority is required for any change of job within the first two years of employment. The conditions for granting the Blue Card will then be re-examined.
    You still have to get through the German stuff as well. Even though there may well be a job offer, it has to have been advertised within the EU and no-one found who can do it, then there is the Betriebsrat...

    Still, 'längste Theke der Welt '

    The Agency and the HR Dept in Germany are sorting things out, I have been digging in various German websites to try and work it all out, there seem to be a lot of clauses and sub clauses etc

    Sort of an IT version of Auf Wiedersehen Pet, hopefully with better accommodation.

    Ick sprekke die Deutsch as well, so that is Kein Problem
