I’ve just read two articles stating that UAE has dropped the PCR test requirement for fully vaccinated travelers. However.. “the new policy says vaccinated passengers only need to show a vaccine certificate with an approved QR code.” I don’t see a QR code on my US CDC card. Is there a process to get a QR code?

Following up on this - What does Dubai define as "fully vaccinated?" 2x vaxxed, +need booster?
I am on my way to Dubai in less than 2 weeks, and if this article I'm reading is right, unvaccinated PCR entry will tighten up to 48hrs. This can be very good or very bad.

I was able to upload everything and get my digital card with QR code in less than 5 mins. Hopefully, this will be accepted upon boarding or arrival into DXB.

Must have completed 3 doses of any approved vaccine: or
Must have completed 2 doses and have recovered from COVID‑19 infection; or
Must have completed 2 doses of any approved vaccine and the second dose within last 6 months, or
Must have recovered from a COVID‑19 infection not more than 3 months from the date of the recovery certificate, regardless of the number of vaccine doses received; or
Must have received a single dose of Janssen COVID‑19 Vaccine within the last two 2 months of the date of planned travel.

I am sorry if this has been answered earlier but can anyone confirm that if we are fully vaccinated (UK) there is no more PCR test requirement?

Seems virtually pointless if you have to PCR test to do anything in the UAE anyway. Testing wasn't even required to transit, unless the destination country deemed it necessary.

PCR in the UAE is only required for the Al Hosn Green Pass, which is only required for accessing public places in Abu Dhabi. If you're staying in Dubai or the remaining emirates, then you will not be asked for the Green Pass at any point.

I’m curious to know if the cdc card converted to a EU greenpass issued by Switzerland would be accepted. I converted mine for travel within the EU and it has a QR code on it. Has anyone from US or another country that converted it used it to meet the QR requirement for entry to Dubai
