The rules for Ritalin (methylphenidate)
Norway's general rule for psychotropic substances applies, whatever the release form: a 30-day supply cap for international travellers, with the NoMA permit process, by electronic form portal or post, required for longer stays.
Maximum supply: 30 days (30-day cap for international travellers; a NoMA permit is required for longer stays)
What to do
- valid prescription or equivalent documentation (medical certificate, or pharmacy label showing physician and patient names)
- Schengen certificate (for Schengen residents). This is issued by your own country of residence and only covers travel between Schengen countries, so if you are flying in from Australia you cannot get one and do not need it.
- permission application for supplies beyond 30 days
