The GAMCA (Gulf Cooperation Council Approved Medical Centers Association) medical test is a requirement for persons seeking employment in GCC countries. One of the most prevalent questions among applicants is whether it is allowed to change cities after scheduling their GAMCA exam session. Let’s dig deeper into this subject.
Understanding GAMCA Appointment Policies
While you arrange a GAMCA medical test appointment, you are usually assigned to a specific medical centre based on the city you chose while registering. This allocation is carried out using an automated technique to ensure fairness and ease.
Unfortunately, after the appointment is confirmed, changing the city might be a difficult process. The GAMCA system does not provide an easy way to change city options after an appointment has been booked.
Steps to Address the Issue
If you need to change the city due to unforeseen circumstances, here are some steps to consider:
- Cancel and Reapply
- You may cancel your current appointment and reapply through the GAMCA portal, selecting the desired city.
- Be aware that cancellation may involve extra fees, and you will need to restart the booking process from scratch.
- Contact GAMCA Support
- Reach out to the GAMCA support team to explain your situation. While changes are not guaranteed, they may provide guidance or assistance in rare cases.
- Verify Availability in the New City
- Ensure that GAMCA centres in the new city can adjust your request within your timeline to avoid delays in your visa process.
Tips to Avoid Issues
- Choose the Right City Initially: Before booking, ensure the selected city aligns with your location and travel convenience.
- Plan Ahead: Account for any potential changes in your schedule or location to minimize disruptions.
Conclusion
While changing cities after booking your GAMCA test session is not an easy task, there are certain solutions that require some effort. To avoid needless problems, consider your city carefully when making your initial booking. Always stay informed and use the GAMCA portal or support staff for the most recent policies and services.
