GreeceTravelling with ADHD medication: rules, permits and documents

Europe

Last checked 20 Jul 2026Low confidence: check with the embassyHow we rate a record

Greece treats these medications differently. Of the 7 we track, 4 have no published rule we could find and 3 need only your prescription.

Serious penalties: Unauthorised import/handling of a narcotic under Law 4139/2013 carries a minimum 8-year prison term; no Greek authority publishes a clear traveller safe-harbour procedure for most opioids or any ADHD stimulant.

We could not find strong recent official guidance for this country. Contact the embassy or consulate directly before you travel.
