Reasons Why a Candidate Needs to Re-Do Wafid/GAMCA Medical

Flying to GCC nations for work, business, and education is a dream of hundreds and thousands of youth in India. Not only men but also women have come forward to work and migrate to GCC nations. Thus, the popularity and demand of working, pursuing education, and residency in GCC nations (UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia) have been on the rise in recent years. Certainly, the GAMCA online registration and undergoing the GAMCA medical tests are mandatory to get the work visa, student visa, or residency/dependant visa. Now there is a question that so many people ask: why and when do we need to redo the GAMCA medical if the GAMCA medical has already been done earlier?  

It is a valid question, and it creates confusion as well. So, in this blog, we will try to provide a clear view of why and when you need to redo the GAMCA medical test if you have done it before. Let’s not beat around the bush but know the truth. 

When Do You Need to Redo GAMCA/WAFID Medical?

There is no doubt that undergoing the GAMCA medical test is a hectic journey. It not only asks for physical fitness but also mental preparation. Thus, if a native needs to undergo GAMCA for the 2nd time, it seems tiresome. But here are a few reasons that make you appear for the GAMCA medical test again. These are as follows, 

• Validity Expiration of GAMCA Medical Report

The validity of the GAMCA medical report lasts for 90 days from the day it is issued. So, if you are preparing to fly to GCC nations, you need to complete the full procedure for visa application, approval, and visa receipt within these 90 days, and fly to your GCC destination simultaneously. But, if you miss getting your visa within this period, you need to redo the GAMCA online registration and appear for the GAMCA medical test again. 

• Unfit GAMCA Medical Report

If you were unable to pass the GAMCA medical test and you got the Unfit status, you need to reappear for the GAMCA medical test. However, your health assessment report from GAMCA will decide whether you can redo the test immediately or if you have to wait for the next 3 to 6 months. 

• Restarting Your Work Journey in a GCC Nation

If the heading is not clear to you, let me clear it. Let’s suppose you had been doing a job in a GCC nation, and you returned to your home after the completion of the job period. Now, you are reapplying for a job in your preferred GCC nation again, and if the application is approved, you need to redo the GAMCA medical. This is the rule, and you have to maintain it. 

• Rejoin the Same Post After a Long Period

Besides all these conditions, if you are re-joining the same post after a long time in the GCC nation, you will have to go for the GAMCA medical. 

Also, if you are changing your visa type, from a family visa to a work visa or vice versa, you must go for the medical tests assigned according to the GCC medical board.
