Step 1: Book Your Online Appointment
Start by booking an online appointment for your medical test through the official website: Wafid.com.

After payment, you will be automatically assigned to a GAMCA approved medical center where you will undergo your medical examination.

Step 2: Visit the Assigned Medical Center
On your appointment date, visit the assigned medical center. Here, you will undergo various medical tests, including:
You need to bring your passport, copies of the passport bio page, and passport-size photos with a white background.

After completing the tests, collect your medical report (usually takes around 5 working days). If you pass the medical examination, you can proceed to the next steps.
