FijiTravelling with ADHD medication: rules, permits and documents
OceaniaLast checked 20 Jul 2026Medium confidenceHow we rate a record
Every medication we track can come into Fiji on your prescription, up to 30 days' supply, carried in original packaging.
Serious penalties: Carrying a Schedule 1 substance (nearly every opioid and stimulant in this research) without evidence of a valid prescription, or beyond the one-month personal-treatment exemption, exposes a traveller to the same Illicit Drugs Control Act 2004 penalties as heroin or cocaine offences (fine up to FJD $1,000,000 or life imprisonment).
