Can you bring medication to the Bahamas?

• Medication

  allowed

  You can travel to The Bahamas with prescription medicine for an existing illness. The Embassy of The Bahamas suggests getting a letter from your doctor saying you need the medication for your health, and showing it to Bahamas Customs if you're asked about it.

  The embassy doesn't give a quantity limit or say how controlled medicines, such as strong painkillers or ADHD medication, are treated. For those, ask Bahamas Customs or the Ministry of Health before you travel.
