Kuwait Medical unfit reason

Post new topic

Joey_Joe

Hey there. I have received a visa from a reputed company in Kuwait but when I went for the medical test, they said I'm unfit due to a spot on  my chest in the X-ray. I'm confident that I'm healthy and I never had TB or any such diseases yet in my life. I lived in Oman for few years and I was fit when I went for medical test 5 years back. Can anybody help me out?

unfortunatly if any deases or anomaly are detect, you are not allowed to enter and have residency in Kuwait.

To clear any doubt , go to any good medical center in your area , do the test and see the result , if you are fit then email your company and explain to them, they will take the necessary action because they want you to come and work for them.

U can do HRCT (CT scan of Thorax)
and apply for second time with HRCT report

Same case with me.
Got my GAMCA test conducted on 28th of May, 2019. Report was uploaded on GCC website the next day, where I was declared unfit. Got the report the next day where everything was normal, except chest x-ray. It was mentioned as abnormal. They wrote 'prominent BVM markings' in the remarks section. The doctor said I should get it checked/consulted from outside and reapply after the expiry of 6 months. However, I got my x-ray test done from another private clinic and consulted 3 doctors. All of them said my x-ray was perfectly normal, though BVM marking was mildly prominent, which shouldn't be a reason for declaring me unfit to work. To further validate it, I got my chest x-ray again from one of the best government chest hospitals in India. They also didn't find anything. In order to further prove it, they got my CT scan also.

Talked to Kuwait embassy in Delhi regarding the discrepancy between the two reports, one from GAMCA medical center and others from outside. They agreed that GAMCA report may be wrong, but said couldn't do anything as medical test was out of their jurisdiction.

Not sure what to do next. Please let me know if there is any procedure, or have to wait for 6 months? By the way, my employer is willing to help me in the best way possible they can, only if they could.

Thanks in advance!

usually they dont unfit at that time instead they keep report pending.
U can apply after one month.
but if they already updated your report in their system then u can not do anything till 6 month.
Or else talk with the owner of center regarding all issue. Hard work but not impossible.One of my known did the same.His report was not updated in their system before,and was pending. Gamca center cleared test after few days.
Rarely Happens.

His finding was same.
Spot in Chest X-ray

As a rule of thumb, GAMCA is a lot stricter than the medical that is done in the GCC countries when you arrive here.  And there is a reason for that - if an applicant is marked UNFIT inside GCC after GAMCA has cleared him then the clinic gets fined and with repeat violations, is completely taken out of the GAMCA network.  So they lose a lot of money.  To compensate for that, they become super strict and mark you UNFIT even if there is a little doubt.

Now for some countries e.g. Bahrain / UAE, there is a way around it i.e. come here on a visit visa and get that converted to work visa by doing a medical inside those countries - bypassing GAMCA entirely (assuming you know for a fact that you don't have TB and have medical reports from other providers showing that; ideally repeat those tests when you arrive here inside the country too on your own expense).  Unfortunately, for some countries, like Saudi and maybe Kuwait, this is not possible.

My dear friend this is a mafia who play with the future of innocent people like you. Since people in 3rd world are in search of good job to get higher payments as compare to back home these wealthy countires will remain playing. Specially south Asian countries having more than billion population deprived of food remain victims. Such governments are corrupt by not taking care of their own people and send people abroad to become victim of torture and phsycal abuse by their forign employers. Sir it will be much much better to earn less but live with a dignity in your own country

@Praveerneeraj Hi brother,  Happened the same issue with me also. They are telling that I am permanently  block just because of medical health check failed while few of them saying that I can come back after 6month. They told that I have TB while I was totally fit when I reached here in Kuwait. Di you get visa again after 6month? Is there any finger issue at airport if I failed in health check?  Please reply

@botafrank8 Please let me know that if someone is declared unfit medically, how long will he remain banned from entering Kuwait? My relative was declared medically unfit in Kuwait. It is a two-year-old story. Is he banned or his ban will be lifted or remain forever?

Hello,


I just want to share my story with everyone here, I was really hoping that someday Kuwait will change their rule so people like me and whoever having same situation like me can unite with their family, as family unity is human right.


My wife was declared medically unfit in Kuwait on 2020, now I am planning to bring her on visit visa. While obtaining the visa the immigration office rejected her paper, they said she was permanently blocked and unable to get any kind of visa here in Kuwait.

nawazd2006

It is cruelty. They have very old rules. They need be changed. Europe has changed the rules. They took all rules from Europe and have been implementing since long.

nawazd2006

This is unfortunate

@Amadu Hamza

Donot worry. You will be medically fit
