Guidance for bringing medication to Türkiye, 18.01.2025
The Consulate General does not provide specific guidance on which foreign medication can be brought to Türkiye.
Generally, most of the over-the-counter drugs in standard doses are permissible, unless otherwise specified.
However, all visitors are strongly adviced to carry a medical report/prescription detailing the purpose and dosage of their medications, when travelling to Türkiye. It is also beneficial to consult with the airline companies for additional guidelines.
