How We Coordinate Your GAMCA Medical
Online Registration on GAMCA Portal
We register you on the official GAMCA/Wafid portal (wafid.com) with your passport details, destination country, and visa type. You receive a unique GAMCA slip number required at the medical centre.
Appointment at Approved Medical Centre
GAMCA medical tests can only be done at GCC-approved medical centres. The nearest approved centres to Nakodar are in Jalandhar and Ludhiana. We book your appointment and guide you on preparation.
Medical Examination
On your appointment day, you visit the approved centre with your passport, GAMCA slip, and passport-size photos. The examination typically takes 2-3 hours and includes blood tests, X-ray, urine test, and physical examination.
Report Processing & Verification
Test results are processed by the medical centre and uploaded to the GAMCA/Wafid system. Reports typically take 3-5 working days. If any test needs to be repeated, we coordinate the follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions About GAMCA Medical
What is GAMCA medical and who needs it?+
GAMCA stands for Gulf Approved Medical Centres Association. It is a mandatory medical fitness examination required for anyone applying for an employment visa to any of the six GCC countries — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. The exam ensures that workers are medically fit and free from communicable diseases before entering Gulf countries.
Where is the nearest GAMCA-approved medical centre to Nakodar?+
The nearest GAMCA-approved medical centres are in Jalandhar (approximately 25 km from Nakodar) and Ludhiana. We coordinate your appointment at the most convenient approved centre and guide you on the exact location, timings, and preparation required.
What should I bring to the GAMCA medical test?+
You need to bring your original passport, the GAMCA slip (which we generate for you from the portal), 4 passport-size photographs with white background, and any prescription medications you are currently taking. Come on an empty stomach (8-12 hours fasting) as blood tests require fasting samples.
What conditions can cause GAMCA medical failure?+
The most common reasons for GAMCA failure are active tuberculosis (TB), HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B or C (active infection), uncontrolled diabetes, drug abuse, and severe vision or hearing impairment. Minor conditions that are under treatment usually do not cause rejection. If you have a pre-existing condition, consult us before registering.
What happens if I fail the GAMCA medical?+
If a specific test result is abnormal, the medical centre may ask you to repeat that test after treatment. If a condition is temporary (like high blood sugar due to diet), you can retest after 2-4 weeks. For serious conditions like active TB or HIV, the medical will be marked as unfit and the visa process cannot proceed.
How long is the GAMCA medical report valid?+
GAMCA medical reports are typically valid for 60-90 days depending on the destination country. UAE (Wafid) reports are valid for 60 days, while Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman reports are valid for 90 days. If your visa processing takes longer, you may need to repeat the medical.
