Whether you’re passing through, going on holiday or moving to Dubai1, it is important to understand the emirate’s strict drug policies so you don’t find yourself inadvertently in trouble with the law.

Not all medications that are legal in other parts of the world are legal in the UAE, and penalties for breaking these rules can be severe. It’s therefore important to check that your prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs are legal in your destination country. The UAE claims to have a “very strict, zero-tolerance anti-drugs policy2 and conducts thorough searches at airports”.

When bringing controlled medication — drugs that are regulated by the government — into Dubai, you are required to apply for approval3 through the Ministry of Health (MoH). You should be able to find out if your prescription medication is controlled or not through your doctor. If you are issued approval to bring your prescription medication into the country, you can bring up to three months’ supply as a visitor and 12 months’ supply as a resident. The drugs should be kept in their original packaging along with your prescription.
