Traveling Europe W/ Meds
I need to bring Adderall & Lamotrigine.
I’m American. I’ll visit Central/Eastern Europe: definitely Poland, for about 2 months; Serbia & Romania; probably Hungary & Slovakia; maybe Czechia & others, depending on medication rules. All those are in the EU and Schengen Area EXCEPT SERBIA.
I’m trying to almost max out a tourist visa, so it would be about 90 days.
Does anyone have a guide for making documentation make sense?
I think I understand the following:
- The entire Schengen Area will let you stay 90 days in a row. However, you can only apply for a 30-day supply of Adderall, for just 4 countries, if you have certain papers.
- You can also get individual documentation for specific countries. PL will also only let you bring a 30-day supply of Adderall if you have certain papers, even though you could spend all 90 days there if you wanted to.
- Serbia has its own rules. It will let you bring in 15 days’ adderall if you have even more documentation.
- Getting D-type visas in PL is taking so much extra time now that I couldn’t count on applying & getting notified I could re-enter before I’d have to come home.
Questions:
A. Am I correct about 1-4 above?
B. Is there some way I can get approved for multiple 30-day periods? I can’t mail Adderall in.
C. Is a tourist visa best if you’re self-employed? (The main project I’ll be working on in the region won’t be paid until well after I’m back home.)
C. What documentation, if any, do I need for Lamotrigine? I can’t find it listed in the paperwork (but I also can’t find words related to Adderall in a big, Polish list, and I know they care about that).
Edit, Question D: Is it true you have to physically mail paperwork abroad, get it physically mailed back to your home, and then bring it with you to the airport? That seems like it would take way longer than a month for them to handle.
