Hi travelers, While checking visa guidelines for 2025/26, I realized that many countries now ask for **biometric data (fingerprints, photos, etc.)** as part of their visa application process. As an **Indian passport holder**, this is a bit confusing since the rules seem to differ from country to country. * Which countries **currently require biometrics** for Indians applying for visas? * Do repeat travelers need to give biometrics again, or is it valid for a few years? * Have you faced any issues (like delays or mismatches) with biometric submissions? I was reading about this on IndiaTourPackages.com, but I’d love to hear **practical tips and recent traveler experiences** to avoid mistakes. Thanks in advance for sharing 🙏
