Dear All,

I had a job offer from Bahrain accordingly I have done a GAMCA test in Dubai for Bahrain and now I have a better option from Saudi Arabia.
should I go for another Gamca test for Saudi  Arabia even my previous GAMCA report for Bahrain still valid yet? 

can I go for another GAMCA test for Saudi Arabia even though my GAMCA report for Bahrain still valid?

Don't bother to do another test from Dubai.  If your sponsor in Saudi doesn't have a visa for your nationality and profession allocated to the consulate in Dubai, you are going to have to go back to your home country and do the GAMCA test there.   If they do have a visa, you can use the same one.

Thanks, bro for your reply.

can I go for another Gamca test for Saudi Arabia in India even though I have a valid medical test for Bahrain? or I can change the Gamca test of  Bahrain report to Gamca test of  Saudi Arabia.

Be clear on some things:

1) The test you have done in UAE is NOT GAMCA.  GAMCA is only done in your respective home countries.  If you are moving from a GCC country to another GCC country, they waive GAMCA testing and instead ask you to do a test from a hospital in the GCC country you are based in
2) In majority of the cases, Saudi is the one country in the GCC that you can't move directly to from another. This has to do with the Saudi visa allocations.  If that happens, you must get a GAMCA test done from wherever you are applying the visa from.  The test you did previously in the UAE cannot be used
3) If you are able to move directly to Saudi, the test done in UAE will still apply if submitted within 3 months of testing date

Hello! Which hospital in dubai you made your gamca test? As of now I am trying to inquire what are the hospitals or medical centers that is gamca accredited.

I am travelling from dubai to Bahrain for work and it is required to have a gamca test. I tried to book for appointment for medical test but there is no option of UAE to choose.  If you can share what is the name of the hospital you've been to have gamca test. Thank you.

Read above - GAMCA doesn't apply when moving from one GCC country to another.  Take the test in any large hospital in the UAE.   I did mine in Welcare Knowledge Village at that time.

Hi Sir, I just read this comment, so what is that test they are requiring  Sir with similarity to GAMCA test?

It's clear now,that is why there is no option of UAE in choosing country of request to have GAMCA test.

Thank you Sir🙏

Follow up for the medical test which is not GAMCA, according to the embassy, the applicant must give this medical certificate request to show the hospital or centre.

My question now, for the medical certificate request the employer should provide it or the agent who is processing the documents?

Thank you.

XTang

Just hand over the report to your employer. They will sort it out.
