Why GAMCA/Wafid tokens expire
Tokens expire when the appointment window lapses, when a clinic marks a no-show, or when payment is delayed after a slot hold. Pakistan city clinics—Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Quetta, Multan, Faisalabad, Gujranwala—will not admit you with an expired QR slip.
Key Points
- Missing the reporting time
- Incorrect documents at the clinic
- Delayed payment after a slot hold
Steps to rebook fast in 2025
Share your previous token and passport; coordinators cancel the old slot, refresh the calendar, and issue a new token after payment. If you need Karachi or Lahore urgent windows, send documents early in the day to capture the first cancellation slots.
Key Points
- Send old token details and passport
- Confirm your new preferred date and city
- Receive the new QR receipt instantly
- Print and keep both old and new slips for reference
How to avoid another expiry
Set reminders 24 hours before your visit, leave early for traffic, and keep your phone on for OTP. If travel plans change, reschedule before the cutoff instead of skipping. Always check the clinic name and address—Karachi Shahrah-e-Faisal is different from Saddar; Lahore Johar Town is different from DHA.
Key Points
- Save the clinic map pin and parking notes
- Keep extra photos and passport copies
- Notify the coordinator immediately if delayed
Pakistan applicant checklist
Karachi and Lahore applicants should buffer traffic; Islamabad/Rawalpindi travelers should plan around Blue Area or Saddar congestion; Peshawar and Quetta visitors should confirm if fasting is requested; Multan, Faisalabad, and Gujranwala applicants should print the QR slip a day early to avoid last-minute printer issues.
After you rebook
Carry both the new QR and your passport to the clinic. Expect the usual sequence: registration, blood tests, X-ray, and doctor consultation. Results typically upload within 24–48 hours. Keep receipts in case the clinic asks for payment proof.
If the clinic asks for repeat tests
Occasionally, clinics request repeat X-rays or blood tests—especially for prior medical history. Follow the clinic’s instructions and keep all receipts tied to your new token ID. If a result is marked unfit, request written guidance from the clinic on next steps. We can help schedule a re-exam when permitted by GCC rules.
Key Points
- Keep every receipt with your token ID
- Ask the clinic which tests need repeating and when
- Share prior X-rays or reports to speed up review
Payments and proof after rebooking
Always label payments with your token ID and save screenshots. If you paid for the first token and it expired, a new fee will apply. Do not pay twice for the same booking without a clear confirmation from the coordinator. In Pakistan cities like Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Quetta, Multan, Faisalabad, and Gujranwala, clinics may request proof of payment before allowing entry.
