Introduction
If you are planning to work in one of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, you are likely to undergo a medical examination conducted by the Gulf Approved Medical Centers Association (GAMCA). This medical test is crucial as it determines whether you are fit to work in a GCC country. However, it’s essential to understand the validity period of the GAMCA medical report, especially if you have been deemed unfit. In this blog post, we will delve into the duration of the GAMCA medical report, both for fit and unfit status, to help you better navigate this process.
GCC Medical Test Registration Slip
Once you register for the GCC Medical Test, you will receive a Registration Slip. As of the latest information available, this slip is valid for a duration of 30 days. This means you have one month from the date of registration to complete your medical examination at an authorized GAMCA medical center.
Validity of Fit Report
Upon undergoing the medical examination, the medical center will evaluate your health and determine whether you are fit to work in a GCC country. If you are found to be medically fit, the report issued to you will be valid for 90 days. This means you have three months from the date of the medical examination during which you can proceed with your employment process in a GCC country.
Unfit Status and Ban Duration
In some cases, the medical examination may reveal health issues that render you unfit for work in a GCC country. If you receive an unfit report, unfortunately, you will be faced with a ban period, during which you will not be eligible to apply for work in any GCC country. As of the latest information available, the ban period for individuals with an unfit status is six months. This means you must wait for six months from the date of the medical examination before you can attempt the medical test again and seek employment in a GCC country.
Conclusion
The GAMCA medical report plays a vital role in determining your fitness to work in a GCC country. The GCC Medical Test Registration Slip is currently valid for 30 days, giving you one month to complete the medical examination. If you are deemed fit, the medical report will be valid for 90 days, allowing you to proceed with your employment process. However, if you are found unfit, you will face a ban for six months, during which you cannot apply for work in any GCC country. It’s crucial to stay updated with any changes in regulations, so always refer to official sources for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
