Visiting Gulf countries requires a GAMCA medical test, which is essential for a visa. You are required to pass this medical test to receive the visa clearance. For expats in Kolkata, these medical tests are compulsory, and they must be done only from GAMCA-approved medical centers located in Kolkata.
If you are from Kolkata and looking for easy ways to register, read this blog. It is a complete guide for those who are doing it for the first time. So, read carefully.
GAMCA medical registration is compulsory, which is only done through an online portal. No other means are considered valid for the registration process. You can fill out the registration form either through your personal computer or from any cyber cafe. You need not pay any charges for registration. You can visit the website GAMCA Medical Appointment Service and click on " Book an Appointment".
Kolkata has numerous medical centers where you can get the GAMCA medical tests done.
Important Point to Remember: Personal choice is not considered in assigning the medical centre. It is automatically assigned while undergoing the registration process. Only GAMCA-approved medical centers are allowed to undergo such tests. None other than these registered centers is considered valid for such medical tests.
When registering, you need to pay an amount for the medical tests and the reports. The charge may vary; on average, it is within INR 4000 to INR 6000. It is always suggested to confirm the fees before registering from your place. Fees often vary depending on the medical centers.
For medical tests, you need the following documents. Make sure you have them prepared with you when visiting the centre. Check them out:
Valid passport
4-6 passport-size photos
One copy of the registration slip that was provided during the online registration.
Offer letter, employment letter, or visa approval.
Organize all these documents well beforehand. You will be assigned a specific date for the tests. Carry all these documents to the centers on that particular date.
The entire test process may take up to 1-2 hours, which includes different types of diagnosis. Chest X-ray, blood tests, urine analysis, and other physical analyses are undergone within these medical tests. You may also undergo some specific screening tests based on the GCC's country's requirements.
The reports of the medical tests are declared online, and you can visit the official site to check them. To check the results, you need to log in. Use the registration number as the username and the password given during registration.
If you are fit, you will get the visa approval. On the other hand, if you are unfit, you have to undergo health screening tests again to obtain the fit certificate. Consult with experienced consultants from the GMA online service for better knowledge about the medical tests and how to easily acquire the fit certificate.
