The rules for Dexamphetamine (dexamfetamine)

The CAK Schengenverklaring is open only to people insured in the Netherlands or the Schengen area who are travelling out, so it is not available to an Australian traveller, and it is not a Dutch permit you apply for before arriving. The Netherlands' own submission to the INCB sets the national requirement: a valid prescription plus a doctor's certificate covering patient, medication, dose and duration, capped at a 30-day supply, and it states the same period applies to international travellers. You get that certificate from your own prescribing doctor. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs page for people travelling to the Netherlands says which declaration you need depends on the country you travel from, and tells you to ask your own doctor or pharmacy where to apply for it.

Maximum supply: 30 days (30-day Schengen cap, extendable to 90 days with additional CAK forms/certificates)

What to do

  1. valid prescription
  2. doctor's certificate endorsed by the health authorities of the country of residence
  3. a declaration arranged in your own country before you travel. Which one you need depends on where you fly from, so ask your own doctor or pharmacy. The CAK Schengen medicijnverklaring is not it: that is for travel out of the Netherlands within the Schengen area and needs a doctor with a Dutch BIG number.
