Finding an error on your GAMCA (now known as Wafid) medical report can be stressful, but it's often a rectifiable issue. The correction process depends entirely on the type of error and when you discovered it.
Before proceeding, determine which of the two main types of errors you are dealing with:
Mistakes in personal details: Name, passport number, date of birth, profession, visa number, etc.
Easier (Handled by the medical center/Wafid system)
Incorrect "Unfit" status, wrong diagnosis, or inaccurate test results (e.g., you believe your clear X-ray was mistakenly reported as having a scar).
Difficult (Often requires an appeal process with the medical center and GCC authorities)
This process should be initiated by the medical center where you took the exam.
Call or visit the GAMCA-approved medical center where you had your examination.
Clearly explain the discrepancy and provide copies of your original passport and the incorrect report as proof.
Request a Change:
The medical center will be responsible for submitting a "Change Request" or "Change Candidate Details" through the Wafid online system.
Crucially, ask for the Change Request Number and the date of submission. This is your primary tracking reference.
Note: Reputable sources indicate that change requests for correcting the medical report data are typically free of charge.
Follow Up:
Monitor your report status online and follow up with the medical center until the corrected report is visible on the Wafid portal.
Be Proactive: The center's delay can impact your visa timeline. Keep a record of all correspondence.
Special Note: Error Discovered BEFORE the Medical Exam
If you notice a typo in your Wafid/GAMCA registration slip before you attend the medical center, the best and fastest solution is often to cancel the current slip (if possible, through the online system or by contacting Wafid support) and immediately re-register with the correct details. Do not attend the exam with incorrect data.
Correcting an "Unfit" status is a formal and difficult process with a limited scope.
Consult an Independent Specialist:
Take your detailed GAMCA "Unfit" report to a qualified specialist doctor (e.g., a pulmonologist for a TB scar, or an infectious disease specialist for an unclear lab result).
Undergo new, independent testing to get a second opinion and strong medical documentation that contradicts the GAMCA finding.
Contact the GAMCA Medical Center:
Present your new, contradicting medical evidence to the GAMCA center.
You can formally request an appeal or a re-evaluation based on the new findings. The center may resubmit your case to the central Wafid authority.
Inquire with the GCC Embassy:
If the local medical center is unhelpful, the ultimate authority for your visa is the embassy or consulate of the GCC country you are applying for (e.g., the Saudi Embassy).
Contact them to ask about their specific appeal procedure and what documentation they will accept to review a questionable "Unfit" status.
