Hi all !
Can someone please advise. I am travelling to Thailand next week and was wondering what documentation I need to take medication with ?
I am on isotretinoin prescribed by my dermatologist and as such also on a contraceptive pill.
I am planning on being in Thailand for around 5 months, 2 months tourist visa then a 30 day extension and then a border hop.
My question: how many months of medication can I take with ? What documentation do I need to take with ?
Thanks for your help 🌈
TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers to Thailand needing to bring medication such as isotretinoin and contraceptive pills should ensure they carry a sufficient supply to cover their stay. The general guideline is to bring medication for the duration of their visa or travel, typically not exceeding 60 days without proper documentation. It's advisable to keep the medication in its original packaging along with the prescription or a letter from your doctor, especially if traveling through countries with strict medication regulations. Many commonly prescribed medications are available over the counter in Thailand, reducing the need to bring excessive quantities. It's recommended to verify with your airline regarding any specific rules, especially if your itinerary includes connections through countries with stringent regulations.
