❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How many times can I reschedule the medical examination?
LMRA allows rescheduling but limits the number of times to avoid prolonged delays. Contact +973 17506055 for specific policy details.
Does rescheduling extend the medical certificate validity?
No — the Wafid medical certificate validity period (typically 3 months) is not extended by rescheduling the LMRA appointment. Ensure the certificate remains valid.
What if the medical certificate expires before rescheduled appointment?
If the Wafid certificate expires, the worker will need to complete a new medical examination before the LMRA appointment can proceed.
Is there a fee for rescheduling?
Contact LMRA at +973 17506055 for current fee information regarding medical examination rescheduling.
