Overcoming Vitiligo for a Successful Wafid (GAMCA) Test - Your Comprehensive Guide
- 18-09-2023
A GAMCA (now Wafid) medical examination is mandatory for individuals planning to work in GCC nations. If you have booked your medical test through Wafid Medical and aren’t satisfied with the center you have been assigned, you’re probably wondering, can you change it? It’s a common question, especially for first-time applicants going to GCC countries for work or living, but the answer is that once your appointment is confirmed, the assigned GAMCA medical center cannot be changed. Here’s a breakdown of why that is and what limited alternatives you have.
When you book your medical test online, the system will automatically assign you a medical center based on the city and country you have selected. You cannot select or change it; it’s all pre-assigned by the system.
Once your medical appointment slip is created, this slip is linked to the assigned center and remains valid for 21–30 days. At this time, you cannot cancel or modify the center on the slip or generate a new one.
If there’s some reason you can’t attend the assigned clinic, such as a sudden relocation, a medical emergency, or transportation issues. In that case, your only option is to wait for your current slip to expire, and then you can book a new appointment. Here is what you can do:
If you skip your Wafid medical test, your appointment slip will automatically expire after 21 to 30 days. Only after that can you book a new appointment.
After your slip expires, you can go back online and book a new appointment. This time, you can choose a different city, and the system will assign a new medical center based on that selection.
The fee you pay when generating the slip is not refundable. If your slip expires without being used, you’ll have to pay again to book a new appointment.
Waiting for your slip to expire and then rebooking will take extra time. This could delay your visa process or job joining.
Once the Wafid slip has been officially created, it cannot be cancelled or refunded.
To avoid this situation entirely, consider the following before you book your appointment:
1. Choose the right passport-issuing country and current location on the form.
2. Always make sure you will be available for the date and time slot given.
3. If you have transport or distance concerns, check what clinics are in your city before booking.
To avoid future complications, please make sure you select the correct city when booking and confirm that you're able to visit the assigned medical center. There’s no flexibility once the slip is generated, but planning will save you time, money, and stress.
