Medication ✅

When you take your medication with you to Indonesia, special conditions apply.
Ask your doctor for a European Medical Passport or a statement in English, before departure in which your doctor states your medications.
Take your medication – enough for the entire trip – in the original packaging (with your name on the label).

Drugs

In Indonesia – as in many other countries – there are very strict laws against illegal drugs.
For this reason, a Medical passport or a statement from your doctor is not sufficient for medicines that can be used as (illegal) drugs (for example sleeping medication, some painkillers and tranquilizers, such as oxazepam and Ritalin). If you need to take this medication with you, you need a legalised statement from your doctor and your government. Ask your pharmacy or GP which medication could be considered illegal drugs.

How do you arrange this special declaration?

1. Check which government agency can help you to get this statement
2. Your doctor completes the statement and puts a signature and stamp on each page.
3. The government agency will  approve the doctor statement and sends it back to you.
4. You legalise the statementYou cannot take more medication with you than is prescribed by your doctor for the duration of your trip.
