quarantine is not required

For those how did or will do biometrics in another country, did you schedule the day online or by phone? I'm just wondering which way is the best for getting the closest available dates...

Hi guys!
I need an appointment for biometrics in Dubai next week ASAP, I have a valid USA visa, So I can get visa on arrival.
This is an urgent requirement. If anyone knows any agents who hold appointments in dubai? Please let me know so that I can contact them.
Please, this is an urgent matter!

I just called emirates and they confirmed , If I have a valid USA visa, I can enter and get visa on arrival.

You need to book your appointment through vfs global Dubai website. You dont need to approach anyone else for that.

Hey guys,I am planning to go dubai for biometrics alone on 20th nov. If anyone wants to come you are most welcome.

Hey, I'm thinking of traveling on 15th or 16th.

so you land, they will do a test, you’ll have to quaratine till you get your covid result. So keep a buffer or 2 days atleast. Once you give biometrics, you will have to give do a covid test again before flying back to India. Make sure you register it. Ask a travel agent - they will hell
You for the same.

You guys are just throwing money away.... Just wait for VFS to open. Biometrics does not guarantee that your application will be processed quickly

quarantine is not required

Yes, it is until your results show negative for COVID-19

I get this "No slots are currently available for 1 applicants." when I try to book an appointment online at Dubai VFS. Does anyone else experiencing the same problem?

There are multiple slots are available for Abu Dhabi office though. However, 14 days quarantine is required. Source: https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/justice-safety-and-the-law/handling-the-covid-19-outbreak/travelling-amid-covid-19/quarantine-guidelines-for-travellers-to-the-uae

@computerscience23 if it's possible then let's plan together on 20th if you still haven't booked your flights.

Yes, I am very much down for that. But I can't find an appointment at Dubai office. It says no slots are available

Hi @computerscience23

I don't know whether this will help or not. But, I found this another way of submitting biometrics in Abu Dabhi instead of Dubai and not requiring us to quarantine for 14 days (A little expensive compared to Dubai tho). It goes as follows:-

Dubai to Abu Dhabi is just 1.5 hours drive . After entering dubai, wait for the Covid test taken during immigration to come negative (24 hours/ safer side 48 hours), have to be in quarantine until you get -ve Covid Test report, take another COVID 19 test in dubai and then travel to Abu Dhabi within 48 hours of the Covid test result.
Give biometrics and then come back.
