WAFID medical screening is mandatory for people applying for work or residence visas in GCC countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain. The examination checks whether applicants meet GCC health requirements before visa processing.
The medical examination commonly includes:
Blood tests
Chest X-ray
Physical examination
Infectious disease screening
General health assessment
For Bangalore/Bengaluru, you typically cannot manually choose a medical center. The WAFID system automatically assigns an approved center after registration.
Some reported approved centers in Bengaluru include:
Majeed Polyclinic
Richmond Medicare
Sanghi Medical Center Pvt Ltd
Documents usually required:
Original passport
Printed WAFID/GAMCA appointment slip
Passport-size photographs
Visa/sponsor details (if applicable)
Official booking and status portal:
Wafid Official Portal
One practical point: use the official WAFID portal for booking/status checks rather than third-party sites when possible.
