What your result means

  • Fit: Proceed with visa processing as per your destination’s rules. Keep the PDF or printout and collect the original report from the same medical center that conducted your exam.
  • Unfit: You cannot proceed now. A 3-month waiting period typically applies before retesting, and you should retest only at Wafid-authorized centers.
  • Pending/Under process: The center may not have uploaded results yet. Check again later or contact the center.
  • No record found: Re-check your passport or slip number, nationality, and test date. Most centers upload your Wafid result within 24 to 72 hours, so check again after a few days before contacting your center.

Validity and retest window

  • Validity: A Wafid (formerly GAMCA) medical report is valid for 60 days from the report issue date (not the exam date), as per Gulf Health Council regulations.
  • Retest after unfit: Expect a waiting period before retesting, commonly up to 3 months. Confirm with your destination’s authority and check the Gulf Health Council’s Wafid program overview for details.
  • Country variation: Rules can vary by GCC country and visa type, so confirm the specifics with official guidance.

Book your appointment before testing

Booking is now mandatory: you must reserve a Wafid medical appointment online before visiting any center. Walk-in tests are not accepted, and third-party agents cannot book on your behalf.

You can reserve a slot on the official Wafid appointment page. Book early so your report’s 60-day validity lines up with your visa timeline.

Troubleshooting

  • “No record found”: Confirm you used the exact passport number and Bangladesh as nationality, try your slip number, and check back in 48 to 72 hours.
  • Captcha keeps failing: Click refresh, avoid spaces, and try another browser or device.
  • Name or number mismatch: Contact the medical center to correct the data entry.
  • Report shows but won’t download: Try PDF then Print, clear your cache, and use a desktop browser.

Information can change based on the destination country and visa type. Always confirm details on the official Wafid portal or your destination’s official visa site.

Planning your travel to the Gulf

Once your report is fit and your visa is stamped, you can start planning the trip itself. Compare fares out of Dhaka and other Bangladeshi hubs to find the best deal.

Many Bangladeshi workers head to Gulf hubs such as Dubai, Riyadh, Doha, and Kuwait City. You can also line up a hotel in Dhaka for any pre-departure paperwork.
