Before any Ethiopian worker can sit for a Gulf medical examination, one document must exist first: the Wafid appointment slip. Without it, no approved medical center in Ethiopia will examine you, and your visa process cannot move forward. Booking the slip is fully online, and you do not need an agent to do it for you, although many people in Addis Ababa pay middlemen for something they could finish themselves in ten minutes. Start by visiting the official Wafid booking page and selecting the appointment option.
Fill in your personal details exactly as they appear on your passport, because even a single wrong letter or digit cannot be corrected later. If a mistake slips through, the only fix is paying for a completely new slip, so double-check everything before submitting. Next, choose your destination country, whether it is Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, or Qatar, and select Ethiopia along with your city. The system then automatically assigns you to an accredited medical center. Keep in mind that you cannot choose or change the assigned clinic, even if another one is closer to your home, so plan your travel accordingly.
After paying the registration fee online, your slip is generated with a unique number printed at the top. Print it and keep it safe, because this same number is what you will later use to check your medical report online. On the day of your appointment, the clinic will also capture your fingerprints and photograph as part of the biometric verification that prevents identity fraud. The whole system may feel new to first-time travelers, but it is genuinely simpler than the old paper process. If you get stuck at any step, the Ethiopia guide on wafidmedicalreportcheck.com breaks down the entire booking journey with real screenshots.
