Check Your FOMEMA Medical Result Online (By Passport Number)

What is FOMEMA?

FOMEMA (Foreign Workers’ Medical Examination Monitoring Agency) oversees the compulsory health screening of foreign workers in Peninsular Malaysia and Labuan, ensuring results are reviewed before a work permit/visa is issued.

The program protects public health by reducing the spread of infectious diseases and providing treatment for uncontrolled chronic illnesses. As of 16 December 2023, all foreign workers must undergo a mandatory FOMEMA medical examination yearly.

Understanding your result

According to the official portal of Foreign Worker’s Medical Examination, your results mean the following:

• Suitable (FIT): The worker is fit for employment; you may proceed with permit issuance/renewal at Immigration.
• Unsuitable (UNFIT): The worker is not fit for employment. Immigration policy requires the employer to return the worker to the country of origin (apply for a Check Out Memo/COM).
• Review: The clinic has transmitted results, and they are under FOMEMA review; FOMEMA transmits results to the Immigration Department within seven (7) working days from the date of examination.
• Expired: This status appears when (a) the medical examination was not performed within 30 days from the registration date, (b) certification was not completed within 30 days of the clinic visit date, or (c) the medical results have exceeded 180 days from the examination date.
• Cancelled: The employer requested a refund; the medical registration/result has been cancelled.

If you filed an appeal (portal “Appeal” tab):

• Successful: Appeal approved; status changes to Suitable/fit.
• Unsuccessful: Appeal rejected; status remains Unsuitable/unfit.
• Closed: Appeal closed if required documents aren’t submitted to FOMEMA within four (4) weeks from appeal registration.

Please note that the Immigration Department does not publish a fixed number of days for how long FOMEMA results stay viewable online. Medical examination results are available at the Immigration Department for 180 days from the date of examination.

If you can’t find a record, verify details and check via JIM’s official FOMEMA Status page or contact Immigration.
