Can I take prescribed psychotropic Controlled drugs to UAE?

Per the Ministry of Health, if you are a resident of the UAE (which you will be since you’re working there), you must have a Permit to Import Medicines for Personal Use to import any controlled drugs. The application takes three working days to process (possibly longer right now because it’s Eid al-Fitr as I type this), so get cracking:

You really don’t want to take any risks here, the punishment for illegal drugs in the UAE are draconian. If you can’t get the permit in time, don’t take the medicines, and instead book an appointment with a local doctor so you can get a new local prescription.
