SloveniaTravelling with ADHD medication: rules, permits and documents
EuropeLast checked 20 Jul 2026Medium confidenceHow we rate a record
Every medication we track can come into Slovenia on your prescription, up to 90 days' supply, carried in original packaging.
By medication
Brand names first, generic in brackets. Each line resolves the drug class rule below, plus anything Slovenia records specifically for that medication.
- Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine)Prescriptionmax 90 days' supply
There is nothing to apply for. Carry your prescription and a doctor's letter naming the medicine, your daily dose and the total quantity, keep it in original packaging, and bring no more than three months. Slovenian customs may ask you to show the prescription, so keep it out of checked baggage.
- Ritalin, Concerta (methylphenidate)Prescriptionmax 90 days' supply
The same rule as Vyvanse above.
- Dexamphetamine (dexamfetamine)Prescriptionmax 90 days' supply
The same rule as Vyvanse above.
- Strattera (atomoxetine)Prescription
Atomoxetine, guanfacine ER and viloxazine are not internationally scheduled; a normal prescription suffices.
- Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts)Prescriptionmax 90 days' supply
The same rule as Vyvanse above.
- Intuniv (guanfacine)Prescription
The same rule as Strattera above.
- Qelbree (viloxazine)Prescription
The same rule as Strattera above.
Rules by drug class
Narcotic (opioids)
Prescription- Quantity
- 5 days. 5 days' supply for both classes (tighter than most Schengen states)
- Permit
- Not required. Schengen state: intra-Schengen travel uses an Article 75 certificate; a non-Schengen arrival carries the prescription and endorsed documents.
- Documents
- prescription, home authority certificate, medical certificate, customs declaration
Psychotropic (ADHD stimulants, benzodiazepines, sleep)
Prescription- Quantity
- 90 days. Up to three months' supply.
- Permit
- Not required. No Slovenian authorisation. A valid prescription is the document asked for, and the allowance is 5 days. The published traveller table dates from September 2007, which is the oldest on this dataset, so confirm with JAZMP before you travel.
Not internationally controlled
PrescriptionAtomoxetine, guanfacine ER and viloxazine are not internationally scheduled; a normal prescription suffices.
If a country asks for a certificate from your own health authority
Australia does not issue export certificates for personal medication. There is no Australian office that endorses a traveller's certificate the way a Schengen country's health authority endorses an Article 75 certificate. The Office of Drug Control licenses commercial exporters, and the TGA regulates products rather than certifying individual travellers, so neither will stamp your paperwork.
What to do instead: ask your prescriber for a signed letter on practice letterhead giving your name and passport number, each medicine by generic and brand name, strength, daily dose, total quantity and the dates it covers, plus the prescriber's registration number and contact details. Have it dated close to departure, and carry the original dispensing labels.
Then contact the destination's authority in writing before you book, say plainly that Australia does not issue the certificate they ask for, and ask what they will accept in its place. Keep the reply. A written answer from the authority is the strongest document you can carry, and it is the only thing that closes this gap.
