Booking your Wafid (GAMCA) medical appointment online is quick and simple. Follow these steps to reserve your slot; your appointment slip is emailed once the booking is confirmed.
Step 1 — Enter Your Details
Provide your passport number, nationality and destination country on the booking form.
Step 2 — Choose Your City
Select the city where you want to be examined. A GCC-approved centre there is assigned to you.
Step 3 — Pay & Get Your Slip
Pay the booking fee securely. Your appointment slip is emailed once the booking is confirmed, usually within a few hours.
Before You Start
Have your passport in front of you. Almost every failed booking traces back to a passport number typed from memory or from a photocopy, and a mismatch between your slip and your document will be refused at the centre. You also need to know your destination country and the city where you want to be examined.
What Happens After You Pay
Your appointment slip is generated and emailed to you, usually the same day. A medical centre near your chosen city is assigned automatically. Manual selection of a specific centre is available only for Lebanon, the Philippines, Tanzania, Thailand and Turkey.
If Your Slip Does Not Arrive
Check the spam folder first, then confirm the email address on your booking. A slip for a Wafidbooking booking can be downloaded again from the booking status page using your passport number, at no charge, so a lost email is not a lost booking.
