Countries
Thirty two destinations, with the awkward parts left in
Every country page carries the routes, what it actually costs beyond anyone's fee, the refusal reasons that come up most, and a link to the government page that governs it.
Germany and Canada are covered in depth because that is where our work abroad service operates. The rest are covered for study applications, and each page says so plainly rather than implying we do more than we do.
