Wafid, formerly known as GAMCA (Gulf Approved Medical Centers Association), is the official platform for scheduling mandatory medical tests for individuals traveling to GCC countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

Anyone applying for a work visa, family visa, or residency visa to a GCC country must undergo a Wafid medical examination at an approved center before the visa is issued.

To book your appointment, you will need:

  • Valid passport

  • Passport-size photograph

  • Destination country and visa type

  • Email ID and mobile number

No. Once the Wafid medical slip is generated, it cannot be canceled, edited, or refunded. Ensure all information is accurate before submission.

The examination usually includes:

  • Blood tests (HIV, Hepatitis B & C)

  • Chest X-ray (for Tuberculosis)

  • Physical examination

  • Urine tests
    Additional tests may be performed based on visa type or country requirements.

Results are usually available within 24 to 48 hours after the test. You can check your status on the Wafid website using your passport number.

You can book your appointment by generating a medical slip on the official Wafid portal. Our website helps you do this easily by collecting your passport and visa details and guiding you through the process.
