cruisevirgin66 Posted January 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Has anybody got any experience of traveling with prescription medication to Oman? We're flying into Muscat, and joining the cruise. Hubby has quite a few meds for heart and back problems. Does anyone know if a current prescription note is all that's needed?

Vitalsign Posted January 29, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) If you look on the gov.uk travel site it tells you what you need for each country in respect of medication which may not apply if you're only in transit Edited January 29, 2019 by Vitalsign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisevirgin66 Posted January 29, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Thanks Vitalsign, I had a look, but it's not terribly clear as, like you say, we are basically transiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I have heart medications and those don't pose a problem. If DH is taking painkillers, that is where there may or maynot be a problem. Oman is not so much of a problem as the UAE if you take them ashore, but as Vitalsign says, check with the gov.uk site or with the Oman/UAE equivalents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed! Still check the sites. What is acceptable with prescription in certain countries, may still be illegal in the UAE. Painkillers and anti-depressants there carry jail sentences, even for small quantities. I believe Oman is more relaxed, but do check and make sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
