1 Each time a new iris biometric is matched at the UAE border an N × N (all-against-all) comparison is performed on the iris database to determine if the individual appears on the UAE’s watch-list. The watch-list itself has a population of approximately 365,000 iris templates. This matching process is only performed on foreign nationals who require a visa to enter the UAE.
