Medical declaration for transport of medication during travel in Portugal

The medical declaration for transport of medication during travel (Declaração médica para transporte de medicação durante viagens) in Portugal confirms that the traveller needs to carry prescribed medication, syringes, insulin pens, auto-injectors, or other medical devices during their trip. It is used at airport or border security checks to verify that the medication is for personal medical use and has been prescribed by a doctor.

The declaration may include the medicine’s trade name, active substance, dosage, and method of administration according to the treatment plan. It is particularly useful when travelling internationally with controlled or injectable medicines.

To obtain the declaration online in Portugal, fill out the medical questionnaire on the Oladoctor website. The doctor will review your answers and confirm the medical need to transport the medication or devices during your trip.

Once approved, you will receive the declaration in electronic format, ready to present at airport or border security. If the doctor cannot confirm the indication for issuing the declaration, the payment will be refunded.

The service costs €39. Payment is made online before the doctor reviews your medical questionnaire.
