Can I take Adderall to United Arab Emirates?

Official guidance indicates United Arab Emirates restricts how much Adderall you can bring and the paperwork required. Check the limits before you travel.

Restricted: limits on quantity and paperwork

Last checked 24 Jul 2026High confidenceHow we rate a record

A limit of our data: Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts) and Dexamphetamine are different medicines. Adderall is a mix of dextroamphetamine and levoamphetamine; dexamfetamine is dextroamphetamine on its own, and international drug schedules list them as separate substances. We hold one combined amphetamine rule per country, so this page cannot tell you whether United Arab Emirates treats them differently. Give the authority the exact product and generic name on your prescription when you check. The answer here is the same as for Dexamphetamine in United Arab Emirates.

The rules for Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts)

Listed as a Schedule II psychotropic, which the UAE allows travellers to bring in. You need a prescription and a medical report, both stamped by the clinic or hospital treating you. Pre-approval is available online but is optional for travellers.

Maximum supply: 90 days (Enough for your stay, up to a maximum of three months, whichever is shorter.)

What to do

  1. valid prescription (issued within 3 months, stamped)
  2. doctor's certificate / medical report (issued within 1 year, stamped)
  3. Emirates Drug Establishment (EDE, formerly MOHAP) import permit before travel (for methylphenidate/atomoxetine)
  4. declaration at customs on arrival
