The role wil only before about 6 weeks, split over 2 locations in Germany. What is needed to work out there - He doesn't have a ltd company as yet but then I doubt that would be a goer in Germany would it?

A Lancaster would do nicely.

Indeed. A beer mitt is recommended though.

I did a few weeks in Dusseldorf and Cologne back in 1999 and all I needed was a toothbrush, passport and beer mitt.

To qualify as for a German work permit, the basic requirements for the employee and the German company are as follows:

* The potential employee has to be employed on equal terms as a German employee.
* German or other European nationals are not available to fill the position.
* Usually the employee must have a university degree or comparable qualification. For some positions there are special requirements.
* The German company must be registered at the Labor Authorities in Germany and apply for a Corporate Registration Number.
