What Is a GAMCA Medical Appointment Slip?

A GAMCA Medical Appointment Slip is an official document generated through the Gulf Health Council’s Wafid platform after you complete the online registration and pay the mandatory pre-departure screening fee.

📌 Note: GAMCA (Gulf Cooperation Council Approved Medical Centers Association) is the older name. The system is now officially called Wafid. However, Bangladeshi workers and agents still widely use the term ‘GAMCA slip’ both terms refer to the same document.

Once you submit your passport information and complete payment online, the portal generates your personalised slip that includes:

• Passport details linked to your profile
• A unique Wafid e-number your reference for all future tracking
• Name and address of your system-assigned medical centre
• Appointment date and reporting time
• QR code for digital verification at the centre
• Payment confirmation and slip expiry date

This slip must be presented at the medical centre before any examination can begin. Without it, the clinic cannot access your registration record or begin any tests.

Why Do You Need a GAMCA Medical Appointment Slip?

The GCC slip exists because Gulf countries only accept medical fitness reports that are generated through officially registered, Wafid-approved medical centres. The appointment slip serves as proof that:

• Your pre-departure medical test is officially registered in the Wafid system
• The examination will be conducted at a government-authorised medical centre
• Your test results will be automatically linked to GCC embassy and visa processing systems
• Your identity has been verified against your passport before the examination

Even if you complete all the required blood tests and X-rays at a private clinic, those results will be rejected by the GCC embassy if they were not conducted under a valid GAMCA slip. The slip is non-negotiable.

What happens if it expires: If the slip expires before you attend the examination, you must generate a new slip and pay the registration fee again. The previous payment is non-refundable.

What to Do After Getting Your GAMCA Medical Appointment Slip

How to Check Your GAMCA Medical Appointment Slip Status

After completing your examination, you can check your medical result online using the official Wafid portal:

• Go to wafid.com/medical-status-search
• Select search method: By Passport Number or By Wafid Slip Number
• Enter your passport number and select Bangladesh as nationality
• Complete the captcha verification code
• Click Check your status will show as FIT, UNFIT, or Pending
• Download or print the report PDF if your result is available

In most cases, your result is also automatically forwarded to your employer and the relevant GCC embassy for visa processing verification.

Can You Select a Medical Centre When Booking?

No. The Wafid system automatically assigns a medical centre based on the city you select during registration. You cannot request a specific clinic, and the assignment cannot be changed after the slip is generated. The system distributes applicants across approved centres to manage examination capacity fairly.

What Happens If the GAMCA Slip or Report Expires?

• Slip expires before test: You must apply again on the Wafid portal and pay the registration fee. The expired slip and its payment cannot be carried forward.
• Medical report expires before visa stamping: The visa application may be delayed or rejected. You would need to undergo the full examination again and obtain a fresh fitness certificate.

To avoid either scenario, plan your examination as early as possible after slip generation, and ensure your employer and visa agent are ready to act immediately once a FIT result appears.

Saudi Medical Slip — Special Note for Saudi Arabia Applicants

A Saudi Medical Slip is a GAMCA/Wafid appointment slip generated specifically for workers applying for a Saudi Arabia work or residency visa. It follows the same Wafid registration process but is issued under the Saudi-specific examination protocol.

Saudi Arabia tends to apply stricter scrutiny during the medical review particularly for chest X-ray results and hepatitis markers. Without a valid Saudi medical slip confirming official registration, your test results will not be accepted by the Saudi embassy or consulate for visa processing, regardless of which clinic conducted the examination.

GAMCA Slip Bangladesh — Key Facts

The GAMCA slip in Bangladesh is one of the most commonly generated Wafid documents in South Asia, as Bangladesh is one of the largest sources of expatriate labour for GCC countries. Key points specific to Bangladeshi applicants:

• Approved examination cities: Dhaka, Chittagong (Chattogram), Sylhet, Rajshahi, and Khulna
• The slip is generated entirely online — no agent or office visit is needed
• Medical reports without a valid Wafid slip are rejected by all GCC embassies
• Dhaka centres handle the highest volume — arrive early to reduce waiting time
• Beware of unofficial third-party agents charging inflated fees for a free-to-use portal

Is the GAMCA Slip Required for All Visa Types?

No. The GAMCA medical appointment slip is required exclusively for employment and work visa categories. It is not required for:

• Tourist visas
• Short-term visit visas
• Business visas
• Transit visas

The slip applies only to workers applying for residency or employment permits in GCC countries.

Difference Between GAMCA Slip and Medical Report

Document	Purpose	When Issued	Validity
GAMCA / Wafid Slip	Confirms medical appointment registration	Before the examination	30 days from generation
Medical Fitness Report	Shows FIT or UNFIT result after tests	After the examination	90 days from test date

Both documents are required at different stages of the GCC visa process. The slip gets you into the examination; the report gets your visa processed.

• The appointment slip is valid for 30 days from the date of generation. The medical examination must be completed within this period.
• Once the slip is issued, it cannot be modified, cancelled, or refunded under any circumstances.
• The medical centre is system-assigned automatically. Applicants cannot select or change their assigned clinic.
• Each slip is single-use only — it applies to one specific person at one specific medical centre.
• All personal information — full name, passport number, and destination country — must be entered exactly as they appear on your passport.
• The Wafid registration fee (approximately USD 10) must be paid online using Visa or MasterCard only.
• Missed appointments cannot be rescheduled. A new slip must be generated with a fresh payment.
• After the examination, the medical fitness report is valid for up to 90 days depending on the destination country.
• Any incorrect or mismatched information requires the applicant to reapply and pay the full fee again.
• Slips must be generated only through the official Wafid portal. Third-party sites do not generate valid documents.

Important Tips for Bangladeshi Applicants

• Double-check every passport detail before submitting — a single character error invalidates your slip and costs you a new fee
• Make payments only through the official Wafid website — unofficial agents have no legitimate role in this process
• Never attend the medical centre without a printed or clearly saved digital copy of your slip
• Keep your printed slip and passport together in one folder on examination day
• Avoid eating heavily or drinking excessive water before tests — a light meal and normal hydration is best
• Disclose all existing health conditions to the examining doctor — hiding known issues can cause complications if they are detected

Common Issues with GAMCA Medical Appointment Slips — and How to Resolve Them

Incorrect Passport Details Entered

Even a single character mismatch between your registered details and your physical passport will invalidate the slip. If you notice an error before arriving at the centre, contact Wafid support immediately. If you only discover it at the centre, you may need to generate a new slip.

Payment Deducted But Slip Not Generated

This is usually a temporary portal processing delay. Wait 15 to 30 minutes and try generating the slip again. If it still does not appear, contact Wafid support with your bank transaction reference as proof of payment.

Unable to Download the Slip

Try refreshing the Wafid portal or logging in again. Check your email’s spam or junk folder as the slip confirmation may have been sent there. Switching to a different browser Chrome or Firefox often resolves display issues.

Assigned Medical Centre Is in a Distant Location

Centre allocation is fully automatic and cannot be changed. If the assigned centre is far from your home, plan your travel in advance. Arriving early on examination day prevents further delays.

For persistent issues, contact Wafid support through the official contact page at wafid.com or email the support team directly.
