Must a husband and wife make separate online applications for a UK Standard Visitor visa, and so attend separate appointments for biometrics?

My wife and I are both applying for a UK Standard Visitor visa.
Do we need to fill the visa application form at visa4uk separately?
That would mean we will have to go for biometric appointments separately.
Is that how it works?

Yes, each person completes their own application, but depending upon availability you may be able to enrol your biometrics at the same time.

Each person (including children) needs to file a separate application. Based upon your text, the recommended strategy is...
- Your wife applies first and records her GWF number. She schedules
her biometrics enrolment on a day that appears totally open. - You apply second and put your wife's GWF number in the remarks
section of the application and explain that you are travelling
together.
If you cannot schedule biometrics at the same time, make two different appointments but show up together and ask if they can accommodate you. No guarantees, but sometimes it works.
Note: only the primary needs to submit financial evidence. This is pointed out in the Supporting Documents Guide.
if you are applying as a family/group you do not need to provide
multiple copies of the same documents

Thanks for clearing up my confusion. we went separately. Although they said they allow husband and wife to come together even if their appointment times are different.

For VFS Dubai / Abu Dhabi, try to get all appointment on the same day. I paid separate charges to shift my son's appointment day to be on the same day as of mother. Otherwise, they were asking to come again on my Son's appointment time and submit all documents again.
