What is FREMEC?

The FREMEC is a document that can make life easier for travelers who have special medical needs. With it, you no longer have to present a medical report every time you travel, you simply show your personal ID when you board. Passengers with chronic and stable medical conditions are eligible for a FREMEC card.

Attention

FREMEC cardholders should notify GOL immediately any time their medical condition changes or worsens.

Alerta

Please note: The card is only available to people with stable chronic medical conditions. Please note that the FREMEC card cannot be issued for children under the age of 2 (two).

Completing and submitting the FREMEC

  • In order for GOL's medical team to analyze all the information with the purpose of guaranteeing the passenger's safety, it is necessary to send a properly completed FREMEC form, which can be filled out by a specialist or not. It is preferable, but not mandatory, that the form is filled in by a specialist.

Check the guidelines for each condition below:

  • Visual, cognitive, psychosocial and developmental impairment: when the FREMEC form is filled in by a non-specialist doctor, an additional report, declaration, certificate or medical opinion drawn up by a specialist doctor in the respective field (doctor with RQE registered with the local CRM) must be submitted. When the FREMEC form is completed by a specialist doctor (doctor with a registered qualification in the respective field), the submission of an additional report is not required. GOL reserves the right to request additional specialist documentation if the FREMEC completed by a specialist doctor requires additional information (for example, not informing the visual acuity of a visually impaired person).

 

  • Hearing impairment: the FREMEC form must be presented (by a specialist or not) along with pure-tone audiometry (a basic and mandatory test to determine the presence of hearing loss).

 

  • Physical impairment: The FREMEC form must be completed by a physician familiar with the pathology described in the document. An additional report is not required as long as the FREMEC form is clear and complete. However, the GOL reserves the right to request additional documentation if it needs further inform.

 

  • Previous forms will be accepted until 29/02/2024, from 01/03/2024 only new MEDIF/FREMEC forms will be accepted. Send the form and the report to fremec@voegol.com.br
