Australian tourist warns about Bali's strict medication rules
An Australian tourist, Isabelle, nearly faced serious consequences in Bali for planning to bring her ADHD medication without proper documentation. Her partner alerted her to the strict Indonesian laws, which classify dexamphetamine, a common ADHD medication, as a Group 1 narcotic. Legal Nexus, an Indonesian law firm, states that penalties for unlawfully bringing narcotics into Indonesia can range from 20 years to life imprisonment, or even the death penalty. Isabelle ultimately traveled without her medication. Finder travel expert Angus Kidman noted that many travelers overlook medication rules, which can also affect travel insurance claims. The Embassy of Indonesia in Canberra advises travelers with prescription medication to carry a doctor's letter detailing their condition, medication, and dosage, along with copies of prescriptions and receipts. Medication should remain in original packaging, and only the quantity needed for the trip should be brought. A Sydney man, Michael William Petersen, was detained for five days in 2019 after arriving in Indonesia with ADHD medication but no supporting documents.
