    I was vaccinated in the trial phase of the Sinopharm vaccine in August and September 2020 in the UAE, and so no vaccination card was issued to me however my al hosn application shows my vaccination dates. I also have a certificate of appreciation from the health center where I got vaccinated in physical form. Will I be able to travel?

    It's the general rule of UAE , and you from Sharjah should have been aware of it. If anyone with resident visa stays out of UAE for more than 6 months then that visa will automatically gets nullified in the system.
