Full details
Adderall in Vietnam is classified as a Group I psychotropic substance under Decree 73/2018/ND-CP — sale and personal carriage tightly controlled. Travelers must obtain pre-arrival permit from the Drug Administration of Vietnam (DAV); without it, Vietnam Customs at NBA / SGN / DAD seizes the medication and may refer for prosecution under Article 248 of the Penal Code. Enforcement in Vietnam carries fines from VND 1,000,000 to VND 100,000,000 under Customs Law 2014; Government Decree 128/2020; Criminal Code Art. 188 (ordinary personal cases are handled as civil infringements). Leaving Vietnam with adderall (medication) is a separate question — restricted: Adderall (dextroamphetamine/amphetamine mixed salts) is a controlled stimulant in Vietnam and is subject to personal-export limits for prescribed users.

Leaving Vietnam with adderall (medication)
Adderall is a Schedule II controlled substance in the US and equivalent schedules in most other jurisdictions. Personal-use quantities (typically a 30-90 day supply) accompanied by the prescription and doctor's letter are generally permitted for export under Penal Code Art. 249-252; Law on Customs 54/2014. Above these limits, a Drug Administration of Vietnam (MoH) authorisation is required in advance. Destination-country rules on Adderall import are more restrictive in many jurisdictions (Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, UAE, Saudi Arabia).
