The medical at Oman would likely to be a formality as they just take the blood test for specific report. You'll be accompanied by your employer's PRO to the medical test facility.

Once it is done (in a span of around 2/3 days), you will be eligible to obtain the resident permit card.

Yes u will be required to do medical tests again at a visa defined clinic or medical centre.which results will be taken to e institute of infectious diseases. U will fill some forms from e ministry of manpower. And all e signature verifications at e police. Your employer Will take u through all e process. Within 2 or 3days u will be done.good luck

Hi all
Wanna know what medical tests are done after landing in Oman? Does it include vision test as well? I am to undergo Lasik surgery in my Right eye. Vision is supposed to be poor (only in Right eye) for a couple of weeks... Will that affect me after landing in Oman...??
Thanks

Hi, when I had my medical in Oman three years ago it was blood test (HIV) , urinalysis (pregnancy) and chest X-ray (TB). I did have basic eye test to convert my driving licence.

Hi Spicygossip,

Upon your arrival and prior to your resident card registration you would have to go to the Ministry of Health clinic in Darsait, stand in a long queue, get a couple of vials for collecting your blood samples.

To cut to the chase, no eye test will be done.

Hey everyone
Just wanna ask what medical tests are done after getting fit from GAMCA and after landing in oman.
Does they just take blood test or go for full check up like GAMCA.

If so, I landed in Oman last Nov 2021 and did the medical in Badr Al Saama in Ruwi.


The medical tests are almost the same with the GAMCA



- complete blood count

- urinalysis

- vdrl/tpha

- hiv

- hepa b

- hepa c

- creatinine

- xray

@ SibilMuhammed


All the tests as listed above. A vision test is not mandatory and it is taken while going for driving license.
