    Hi boardies,

    Search online with limited results.. so hoping someone can help out.

    My partner and I are travelling to Vietnam in a few months, she has a few health complaints and will need her medication for a total of 23 days, some of her issues are depression and Chronic pain. She will need 2 liters of liquid medication (looks like DAA under EU law has no restriction on medication carry on) should be fine here. Its the arriving into Vietnam we are concered about.

    We have been referred an Decree artical 54/2017NC. Under acrticel 75 section 3 it states we must have an application form for none commercial import of medication. From all the research I found I think all we need is the medication sealed, prescription from Doctors explaining its use and a form 27 (which we found online and use google translate). Just enough for our 23 day trip. However I can't find out how we apply for it?

    It is simply have all the documents for when we arrive and declare to customs?

    If anyone else had any experience with this feel free to offer your advice.

    Thanks
    Sonyvision.

    Don't forget you will also need to transit (at least once) to get to Vietnam from Ireland.

    So you should check the regulations in your transit destinations too

    e.g. Some of the middle Eastern countries have a much longer controlled substances list than most

    Looked into this, and seems to be fine as they allow one month of medication (on another note, would we be required to pass through customs if our stop over is only 3 hours??

    Think we emailed them with no joy just a simple copy and paste response. I might try give them a call with some specific questions.
