What the GAMCA/Wafid token fee covers
The token fee secures your booking on the Wafid portal and covers coordination with your chosen GCC medical center. It does not include the medical tests themselves, which are paid at the clinic. In Pakistan, 2025 token fees for Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Peshawar generally fall between PKR 17,000 and PKR 20,000 depending on urgency.
Key Points
- Portal charges and coordination
- QR receipt generation
- Reminder and reschedule support
Average fees by destination and city
Saudi Arabia and UAE routes often cost slightly more due to demand. Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait tokens are mid-range. City demand matters too: Karachi Shahrah-e-Faisal or Lahore Johar Town peak slots cost more than off-peak Multan or Faisalabad windows. Always ask for the live 2025 quote before paying.
Key Points
- Saudi/UAE tokens: higher due to peak demand
- Qatar/Oman/Bahrain/Kuwait: mid-range pricing
- Clinic medical tests: paid onsite and vary by city
How to budget and avoid extra costs
Plan for two payments: the Wafid token fee and the clinic medical fee. Token fees are mostly non-refundable after issuance, so verify your sponsor city, spelling, and preferred clinic first. Avoid last-minute changes that trigger new tokens, and keep your phone on for OTP to prevent delays.
Key Points
- Lock sponsor city and clinic before payment
- Ask for the current 2025 rate in PKR
- Print and save the QR to avoid reprinting charges
- Reschedule before cutoff to avoid fresh fees
Pakistan city fee examples for 2025
Karachi and Lahore urgent slots often reach PKR 19,500–19,800; standard slots sit around PKR 17,200–17,800. Islamabad/Rawalpindi ranges are similar. Peshawar, Multan, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, and Quetta generally stay in the mid-PKR 17,000s unless urgent same-day windows are requested.
Key Points
- Karachi/Lahore urgent: PKR 19,500–19,800

- Peshawar/Quetta/Multan/Faisalabad/Gujranwala: mid-PKR 17,000s
Avoid payment mistakes
Never pay twice for the same token. Confirm the payee name and receipt. If a clinic reschedules you, the token remains valid—no need to pay again. Keep screenshots of transfers and match them to the token ID in case the clinic asks for proof.
Key Points
- Use the listed number/email for payments
- Match receipt reference to your token ID
- If rescheduled, reuse the same token unless expired
After paying the GAMCA fee
Expect your QR slip within 30–60 minutes during working hours. Save the PDF, print a copy, and pack it with your passport and photos. At the clinic, you will pay separate medical charges—carry cash or card as per the clinic’s instruction.
Budget checklist for Pakistan applicants
Set aside funds for both the Wafid token and the clinic medical fee. Carry a backup payment method if you are traveling from another city. Keep receipts tied to your token ID, especially in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Quetta, Multan, Faisalabad, and Gujranwala where clinics may request proof before entry. If you are flying in, plan for transport, printing, and meal costs around the appointment window.
Key Points
- Token fee + clinic fee + travel buffer
- Printed QR, extra photos, and cash/card as required
- Receipts labeled with token ID for verification
- Allow extra time and budget if rescheduling is needed
