In detail
The Qatar visa medical — what to expect
A Qatar visa medical is part of the work-visa and residence-permit process, arranged through your employer. As a Gulf destination, pre-travel screening covers communicable diseases such as HIV, hepatitis and tuberculosis, and for many nationalities must be done at an approved centre. A further medical commission examination is then carried out in Qatar after arrival — so check your route before booking.

FAQs
Qatar visa medical questions
Still have a question? Our team can help you choose the right appointment.
What does the Qatar visa medical include?
It is built around Qatar's fitness screening — commonly a doctor's examination, blood tests for communicable diseases and a chest X-ray, as your form lists. Note many nationalities must use a Wafid (GAMCA)-approved centre, with a further medical in Qatar. Send us your form and we'll advise.
Can you complete my official Qatar immigration medical?
For many applicants the pre-travel Qatar medical must be done at a Wafid (GAMCA)-approved centre, with a Medical Commission exam after arrival. Please confirm your route with your employer and send us your form before booking so we can tell you what we can complete.
How much is it?
From £350. The final price is confirmed from your form, as some forms include extra tests.
How fast can I be seen?
We usually offer same-week appointments for a Qatar visa medical. The completed form follows once your required test results are back.
Who needs a Qatar visa medical?
Typically workers moving to Qatar on an employer-sponsored visa. Requirements are set by your employer and the Qatari authorities and vary by visa category, so the form or official instructions you have been given are the definitive guide — and we're happy to check yours before you book.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Your passport and any Qatar visa documents, the medical form or written requirements you've been given, passport photos if requested, and a list of your medications and relevant history. Bringing the form is the single most helpful thing, as it tells us exactly what your Qatar route requires.
Do you submit the results to the embassy or authority?
For many Qatar applicants the medical is routed through a Wafid (GAMCA)-approved centre and a further check is done after arrival, so submission depends on your route. Where we complete your form, you or your employer and the Qatari authorities submit it — we carry out the assessment to the requirements provided and are not a visa or immigration advisory service.
What if I have a medical condition or take regular medication?
That’s usually not a barrier — bring a list of your medications and any relevant history so the doctor can complete your form accurately. If a condition is relevant to your form, we’ll explain how it is handled.
Is this the official Gulf (GAMCA / Wafid) medical?
Many Gulf residence medicals must be completed at a centre appointed under the GCC (GAMCA / Wafid) scheme. We may be able to help with pre-screening or parts of your assessment — please send us your form first so we can confirm eligibility before you book.
Is the Qatar medical part of the GAMCA / Wafid process?
Qatar residence medicals are frequently completed through GCC-appointed centres under the GAMCA / Wafid system. Requirements vary by visa category and authority; send us your form and we’ll confirm eligibility and what we can complete in London before you book.
What does the Qatar visa medical involve?
It follows the form issued for your visa, usually a doctor’s examination and screening for specified communicable diseases. We confirm the precise list from your form and complete only what it requires.
How quickly can it be done?
The examination is usually a single visit; the completed form follows once required results are back, often within a few working days depending on your tests.
