What happens if a candidate is declared medically unfit?
If a candidate tests positive for infectious diseases or severe conditions, they receive an "Unfit" status. This status is recorded in the GCC database, which temporarily or permanently restricts visa processing depending on the diagnosed health condition.

For temporary, treatable conditions, candidates can re-register after a waiting period (usually 3 to 6 months) and upon providing complete cure documentation. For permanent conditions (e.g., active Hepatitis or HIV), GCC regulations impose a permanent travel ban.
