Yes, UAE residents applying for an Australia Visitor Visa must provide their biometric information, which includes fingerprints and a photograph. This requirement applies to most applicants as part of Australia’s visa security process. Biometrics are collected at the designated Visa Application Centres in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Once submitted, biometric data remains valid for future visa applications for a period, unless specifically requested again. It is an essential step in the process, and applications will not be finalized until biometrics have been successfully provided.
