The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 9 figures, never sentences; 60 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per route per jurisdiction: the statutory application fee, the health surcharge or equivalent, the priority-service surcharge and the biometric cost, summed into the TOTAL a route actually costs - which no fee table publishes - beside the authority's own current processing time; across dated snapshots it is the SERIES of what a route costs, the answer to why the same visa costs a third more than it did two years ago, and the changed-since on every fee-order commencement", "embed": "
