In many cases, those who pass the WAFID (GAMCA) medical test for GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain) end up with the Unfit medical report. Then they are looking for a path to improve the medical status from Unfit to Fit.
Additionally, some agents say:
“You can change your report”
It’s always good to know that they can make something fit if you pay extra.
You will be greeted with “Welcome to “We can edit your WAFID medical”
However, the facts are quite clear:
It is illegal to change medical status with WAFID.
We will discuss the reasons why WAFID medical cannot be altered, how it is operated and the steps you should take if you obtain an unfit result.
What is WAFID (GAMCA) Medical?
WAFID is a medical system provided by the GCC countries for medical approval of visa applicants. Previously it was known as GAMCA.
The medical report is uploaded online by a medical centre approved by the Government of the GCC countries, and the medical report is associated with the passport number.
This means that your report will be saved to an official database and will not be able to be edited manually.
Why Change of the WAFID Medical Report is Not Possible?
1. WAFID Medical Report is uploaded directly from Approved Centers.
Results can be uploaded by the only the GCC-approved medical centers.
The applicants are not allowed to upload, edit and modify anything on their own.
No matter what you do, including contacting the medical center, you will not be able to change the report without proper medical reason and official process.
2. WAFID System is Sharing with GCC Government Visa Systems
WAFID reports are linked with the immigration and embassy systems.
The status once it is Fit or Unfit is entered into your visa record.
Manual change is not feasible due to the monitoring and control of the system.
3. Medical Result is based on Lab and X-ray findings.
The report is created using the following:
- Blood test results
- Chest X-ray report
- Physical examination
- Lab findings
These reports are prepared by doctors and labs, not by agents.
If an infectious disease is detected on the test, it automatically disqualifies the applicant from the system.
Thus, there is no “manual button” to make it fit.
4. Editing WAFID Medical is Illegal and Risky
Fake solutions may be offered by some agents, but this is illegal.
Trying to change the report through unauthorized ways can lead to:
- Permanent blacklist
- Visa rejection
- Passport record issues
- Fraud case
- Travel ban in GCC countries
This is why such agents are not recommended to be trusted.
When the submission is made to the SENDCO, the medical status will be marked as Locked After Submission.
5. After the medical centre reports the final result to the WAFID portal, the report is locked.
Even the medical center personnel can’t easily re-open it.
The report can only go into “referred” or “recheck” mode in special cases only with official approval.
Can Any Medical Center change Unfit to Fit?
No.
A medical center cannot upgrade your unfit status to fit unless:
- the first report was uploaded with an error
- there was a mismatch in passport details
- the lab result was wrongly entered
Nevertheless, the correction process is rigorous and has to be proven.
Who can fix a WAFID Medical Be?
There are rare circumstances where you can only be corrected if there is a true problem such as:
Passport Details Mistake
Report may require corrections if passport number or nationality is incorrect.
An incorrect Applicant Data was uploaded.
If another person’s result, not yours, has been uploaded on the medical center.
Technical Upload Error
When the status was wrong due to the system error.
The medical center can make an official request in this instance.
However, it isn’t a “status change.”
This is only a correction of a true error.
If your WAFID Medical Status is Unfit, what do you do?
If your report is unfit, do the following:
Present the Reasons Why?
Make a visit to the medical centre and inquire about the “unfit” status.
Typically, it has to do with:
- TB
- Hepatitis B
- Hepatitis C
- HIV
- Serious lung infection
If possible, ask to take the test again.
Some of the times, a request may be made to retest, depending on the medical center and WAFID guidelines.
Retest is not always acceptable.
Consult a Doctor
If the result is due to health problem, seek physician’s advice for treatment.
There are certain diseases that take several months to treat before reapplying.
Apply After Waiting Period.
You can usually re-apply following a wait time.
For instance if you went through a treatment for a temporary infection or TB, you might be able to apply it again later.
Why agents who promise medical change are not to be trusted.
Many people lose money due to fake agents.
These agents may:
- take payment and disappear
- Send bogus report printouts
- promise “fast upload”
- assert having connections in medical centers
WAFID system is official and controlled.
Agents have no power to alter your medical status.
If they’re providing this service, they’re probably a scam.
Will there be any WAFID medical events in other cities?
- Yes, you can do medical again by making a new appointment at another city.
- You still might have an unfit record though.
- Also, if you are suffering from the same medical condition, it will again be unfit.
- Therefore, moving to another place does not ensure fitness.
The best way to prevent WAFID Medical Rejection.
While you can’t prevent all medical problems, you can help decrease risk by:
Before applying, a simple health assessment is conducted.Prior to applying, a simple health check is performed.
- Chest X-ray privately if there are any chest X-ray records for TB history.• Private chest X-ray if there are any chest X-ray records of TB history.
Just before medical tests, try to refrain from drinking.
- Taking a long, restful sleep
- Carrying correct documents
In the case of any serious diseases, it is recommended that you treat them first.
Conclusion
As the system is official, secure and directly connected to the GCC visa authorities, why WAFID (GAMCA) medical status change is not possible. Only approved centres upload the medical report and the medical report is based on a real lab result.
If your report is unfit, the safest thing to do is to grasp why it is unfit, consult a doctor and then reapply after treatment.
