You must visit the GAMCA India official website to book your GAMCA medical appointment. On the website, select Qatar as the destination country, enter your passport and personal details, and choose the Indian city where you wish to undergo the medical examination. The system will automatically book you with a GCC-approved medical center in the town. Upon making an online payment, you will receive a GCC slip containing your appointment details and clinic location. Print the slip and bring the same along with your passport and passport photos on the examination date.

All Asian and African expatriates who are migrating to Qatar as workers, for family visit purposes, or for residence visas must go through the GAMCA medical. These include semi-skilled and skilled workers, professionals such as engineers or nurses, and employees’ dependents who wish to immigrate to Qatar. You should take the test irrespective of age and gender. It helps the Qatari government to prevent public health issues. Even children traveling with parents on residence visas may occasionally be required to present simple medical checkups based on the visa type.

The medical certificate of the approved GCC clinic is usually valid for a period of up to 90 days from the date of issuance. Visa stamping and arrangements will need to take place within this period. In case you already have a pending visa or cannot travel within the date of validity, you will be required to re-book for a GAMCA medical test and do the tests again. To avoid such problems, arrange for the medical test two or three weeks before your estimated processing date for your visa.

GAMCA medical reports are updated within 2 to 4 working days after you take the tests. The test results time varies based on the clinic, city, and whether additional testing is required. If the preliminary test indicates the need for further analysis, the report will take more time. 

If your test finds you with a severe infectious illness such as active TB or HIV, you will be “Unfit” and your Qatar visa application cannot move on further. You can’t apply again soon in this situation. However, if the problem is treatable—such as a mild illness or unstable blood sugar level—you can cure yourself and reapply for your medical within 90 days. The GCC medical rules protect public health and also provide applicants with an opportunity to return once their health has stabilized. If you have got an unfit result, call us immediately. We will help you.

No, the applicants cannot choose their medical centre. The system will assign you a GAMCA-accredited clinic in your preferred city. This system ensures equality. It prevents popular clinics from becoming overcrowded. It distributes applicants evenly among accredited centers and ensures the test adheres to GCC health standards. An attempt to avoid or opt for an alternative clinic is not allowed, and Qatari officials will only take reports from an approved clinic.

It is advisable to have a general health checkup before booking your GAMCA appointment to ensure you are ready. Drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, don’t self-medicate, and don’t hide any medical background from physicians. Bring your original passport, passport snaps, and supporting medical certificates or medication. If you are diabetic or hypertensive, make sure your condition is under control before appearing for the test. Honesty and preparation will benefit you in winning the medical test without delay.
