KosovoTravelling with ADHD medication: rules, permits and documents
EuropeLast checked 20 Jul 2026Low confidence: check with the embassyHow we rate a record
Kosovo 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: Importing or exporting a Table II or Table III narcotic drug or psychotropic substance without the Ministry of Health/AKPPM licence — stated by Customs as a blanket prohibition with no visible personal-use exemption.
We could not find strong recent official guidance for this country. Contact the embassy or consulate directly before you travel.

Rules by drug class
Narcotic (opioids)
Unclear- Quantity
- No traveller personal-use quantity limit published by AKPPM or Kosovo Customs.
- Permit
- Not published. Kosovo Customs states that importing or exporting Table II and III narcotic and psychotropic medicines is prohibited to natural and legal persons who do not hold an import-export licence issued by the Ministry of Health through AKPPM. The wording reaches natural persons, so this is not purely a trade rule — but no traveller process, quantity threshold or personal-use exemption is published, and it is unconfirmed whether an individual could obtain that licence at all. Ask AKPPM before you travel.
- In force
- Since 13 February 2026.
