Gamca Medical Appointment Slip Cancellation
Wafid (GAMCA) Medical Appointment Slip Cancellation Guide
If you’ve ever tried booking your Wafid (formerly GAMCA) medical appointment, you know how important accuracy is during registration. But what if you entered the wrong details, picked the wrong country, or your plans simply changed? Don’t worry — you’re not alone. Many applicants face similar situations and look for a way to cancel their Wafid medical appointment slip or rebook a new one.
This guide explains, in simple and practical terms, how the Wafid (GAMCA) medical appointment slip cancellation process works, what to expect, and how to handle it smoothly — without technical jargon or confusing steps.
What Is a Wafid (GAMCA) Medical Slip?
When you book a Gamca medical appointment through the Wafid website, it automatically assigns you a GAMCA medical center and generates a slip with your details — name, passport number, country, and medical center.
This slip is your official proof of registration for the GCC medical test and must be presented when you visit the center.
Once generated, the slip can’t be edited. So if any mistake occurs or you need to postpone the test, the only option is to cancel or let it expire before rebooking.
Why You Might Need to Cancel Your Wafid Appointment Slip
People cancel their GAMCA medical appointments for various reasons. Here are the most common ones:
- Incorrect passport number or spelling mistake during registration.
- Travel or visa process delayed.
- Wrong country or category selected (for example, “employment” instead of “family”).
- Change in location — you want a nearby medical center.
- Appointment made under the wrong person’s details.
If any of these sound familiar, you’ll need to take a few steps to clear your old slip record before booking a new one.
How to Cancel a Wafid (GAMCA) Medical Appointment Slip
There isn’t a direct “cancel” button on the Wafid website, but you can still handle it easily with a few options.
-
Wait for the Slip to Expire Automatically
If you don’t visit the medical center, your slip automatically expires after about three weeks (21 days). Once expired, you can generate a fresh slip using the same passport number. This is the easiest and most common method.
-
Contact Wafid Support Team
If you urgently need to rebook or correct an active slip, send an email to the Wafid support team through the contact form on their website. In your message, include:
- Your full name (as in passport)
- Passport number
- GCC slip number (found on your appointment slip)
- Reason for cancellation
They may manually release your passport record so you can create a new slip.
-
Visit or Call the Assigned Medical Center
Sometimes, the medical center can release or mark your slip as unused if it hasn’t been processed yet. You can call or visit them directly and politely explain your situation. This can be quicker in urgent cases.
Important Tips Before You Cancel or Rebook
- Always check every detail carefully before confirming your Wafid booking.
- Use the same passport number for all bookings — multiple active slips can cause delays.
- Save your payment receipt and slip copy until the process is complete.
- Don’t try to create another slip immediately after cancellation — wait until the old one expires or is released.
What Happens After Cancellation or Expiry
Once your appointment slip expires or is officially canceled, you’ll be able to reapply through the Wafid medical portal just like before. You’ll get a new slip number and possibly a new medical center assigned.
However, note that the previous payment isn’t refundable, so a new booking will require another payment.
Example Scenario
Imagine Rafiq from Mumbai books a Wafid medical appointment but accidentally enters his name as “Rafik.” Since names can’t be corrected once the slip is issued, his only choice is to cancel or wait for the slip to expire. After three weeks, Rafiq rebooks using the correct name and successfully gets a new appointment.
This simple example shows how a small mistake can delay your process — but with the right approach, it’s easy to fix.
Common Issues People Face During Cancellation
- Duplicate slip error: When you try to rebook before the old one expires.
- Medical center delay: Sometimes, the assigned center doesn’t release the slip quickly.
- No response from support: It may take a few days to receive a response to an email.
Payment related issues: Once the fee is paid, it cannot be refunded or transferred.
Patience and proper communication are key here – haste can lead to more complications.
Conclusion
The process of canceling a Wafid (GAMCA) medical appointment slip may seem confusing at first, but it’s actually simple once you know the steps. Whether you have made a small mistake or your travel plans have changed, you can easily cancel or wait for your slip to expire and then book a new appointment. Always keep your booking details safe, double-check information before submitting and contact the Wafid support team if you need assistance. A little patience can save you unnecessary stress and delays in your medical testing process.
