Getting turned away at the medical centre because of a missing document wastes a day – and sometimes your appointment. Use this checklist the night before your GAMCA medical.
The must-carry list
| # | Item | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Original passport | Identity verification – photocopies alone are not accepted |
| 2 | Passport photocopy | Many centres keep a copy for records |
| 3 | Appointment slip | Shows your appointment reference, centre and date |
| 4 | Passport-size photos (2–4) | Required by some centres for forms |
| 5 | Visa copy / offer letter | Helpful if the centre asks about position or sponsor |
| 6 | Medical-centre fee | Paid at the centre as per their rates |
Good to have
- Previous medical reports or prescriptions if you have a long-term condition
- Spectacles if you wear them (for the eye test)
- A pen, water bottle and a light snack for after fasting tests
- Your phone charged, with the slip saved as a PDF or screenshot
On the day
- Reach 15–30 minutes early. Queues can be long, especially in big cities.
- Fasting: follow the instructions on your slip or given by the centre.
- Dress simply – you may need to change for the X-ray.
- Women: tell the staff if you are or might be pregnant before the X-ray.
- Be honest in the medical history questionnaire.
Things to avoid
- Do not send someone else in your place – identity is checked with photo and biometrics.
- Do not pay anyone who promises to “make you fit” – this is a scam and can lead to legal problems.
- Do not share OTPs, passwords or bank details with anyone over the phone.
After the medical
Results are uploaded by the medical centre and shared electronically. Inform your agency or employer once your medical is complete.
