I spent hours trying to find out how IVF works in different countries without luck. This guide compare all information you need when going abroad for an IVF in one place and it's brilliant!
The IVF Abroad Patient’s Guide compares eleven countries on the three things patients ask about first: what treatment costs, who is allowed to be treated, and what the registry success rates look like. The figures below are taken from the 6th edition. Prices are the ranges clinics quoted for basic packages; success rates come from the ESHRE European registry; popularity comes from enquiries patients sent to clinics through our websites.
Among EU destinations, Poland (€2,200-€2,500), Latvia (€2,200-€3,600), the Czech Republic and Greece (both €2,500-€3,500) are the cheapest for IVF with your own eggs; Georgia starts lower at €1,500. Spain, the most popular destination, costs €3,600-€6,700. For IVF with donor eggs the lowest ranges are in Ukraine (€4,600-€5,500), Georgia (€4,500-€8,000) and Poland (€5,500-€6,500), while the Czech Republic, Greece and North Cyprus all sit at €5,500-€7,000. Turkey does not permit egg donation.
| Country | IVF with own eggs | IVF with donor eggs | Egg freezing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spain | €3,600-€6,700 | €6,500-€8,500 | €3,500-€4,700 |
| Czech Republic | €2,500-€3,500 | €5,500-€7,000 | €2,000-€3,000 |
| Greece | €2,500-€3,500 | €5,500-€7,000 | €2,500-€3,000 |
| North Cyprus | €2,500-€3,000 | €5,500-€7,000 | €2,500-€2,700 |
| Portugal | €4,000-€4,600 | €6,500-€7,500 | €2,700-€3,000 |
| Latvia | €2,200-€3,600 | €6,500-€7,500 | €2,000-€2,600 |
| Denmark | €3,300-€4,500 | €7,000-€8,300 | €3,200-€3,800 |
| Poland | €2,200-€2,500 | €5,500-€6,500 | €1,600-€2,200 |
| Georgia | €1,500-€3,500 | €4,500-€8,000 | €2,000-€3,500 |
| Turkey | €2,500-€3,500 | not available | €1,200-€1,600 |
| Ukraine | €2,500-€3,200 | €4,600-€5,500 | €2,100-€2,500 |
Basic packages cover preparation, visits, scans, egg retrieval with anaesthesia, ICSI, blastocyst culture and transfer (and, for donor cycles, the donor’s eggs and compensation). Medication, qualification tests, frozen transfers and embryo freezing are extra. The guide lists those add-on prices for every country. See also our cheapest IVF in Europe comparison and the IVF cost calculator.
The legal maximum age for the woman is 54 in Greece, 50 in Spain (some clinics accept patients to 54), Portugal and Turkey, 48 years and 12 months in the Czech Republic and 45 in Denmark. North Cyprus treats women to 58, with Ministry of Health approval required over 45 and an ethics committee review over 55. Latvia, Poland, Georgia and Ukraine set no legal limit and leave it to each clinic. No country in the guide limits the man’s age.
Single women can be treated in Spain, Greece, North Cyprus, Portugal, Latvia, Denmark, Georgia and Ukraine, but not in the Czech Republic or Poland, and in Turkey only for egg freezing. Female couples have access in Spain, Portugal and Georgia (with the ROPA method), North Cyprus, Latvia and Denmark. Sex selection is allowed only to prevent a serious inherited disease in every country covered, and not at all in Turkey. Full tables in the guide cover donor anonymity, donor age limits, the number of embryos that can be transferred and treatment for HIV and hepatitis positive patients. Our IVF age limit guide covers the same rules in more countries.
All success rates in the guide come from one source, the ESHRE European registry report, so countries can be compared on the same basis. For IVF with own eggs the pregnancy rate per embryo transfer in women under 34 was highest in Latvia (33.6%), Turkey (31.4%) and the Czech Republic (29.2%), with Greece at 27.1%, Poland 26.8%, Denmark 26.6%, Portugal 23.6%, Spain 21.7% and Ukraine 21.3%. At 40 and over, rates fall to between 7.5% (Czech Republic) and 16.3% (Turkey). For IVF with donor eggs, where the recipient’s age makes no difference, pregnancy rates per fresh transfer were 66.5% in Ukraine, 56.8% in Spain, 56.6% in Greece, 54.5% in Portugal, 52.5% in Poland and 44.3% in the Czech Republic. North Cyprus and Georgia do not report to ESHRE.
| Country | Own eggs, under 34 | Own eggs, 35-39 | Own eggs, 40 and over | Donor eggs, fresh transfer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spain | 21.7% | 20.6% | 10.2% | 56.8% |
| Portugal | 23.6% | 21.1% | 11.1% | 54.5% |
| Czech Republic | 29.2% | 21.1% | 7.5% | 44.3% |
| Greece | 27.1% | 22.8% | 9.0% | 56.6% |
| Ukraine | 21.3% | 16.7% | 10.4% | 66.5% |
| Latvia | 33.6% | 24.1% | 12.9% | 40.0% |
| Poland | 26.8% | 20.9% | 10.9% | 52.5% |
| Denmark | 26.6% | 20.1% | 12.9% | 43.4% |
| Turkey | 31.4% | 27.4% | 16.3% | no data |
Pregnancies per embryo transfer, ICSI cycles, from “ART in Europe, 2019: results generated from European registries by ESHRE” (Human Reproduction, 2023). Pregnancy rates run higher than live birth rates, and a clinic’s own figures are rarely comparable with these; the guide explains how to read both and what to ask a clinic about your own chances.
Based on 7,959 enquiries sent to clinics through FertilityClinicsAbroad.com in the survey year, Spain received 45.95% of all IVF enquiries, followed by Greece (18.66%), the Czech Republic (13.49%), North Cyprus (9.30%) and Portugal (3.62%). For IVF with donor eggs, 3,715 enquiries through EggDonationFriends.com put Spain first again at 54.02%, then Greece (17.04%), North Cyprus (11.39%), the Czech Republic (10.42%) and Portugal (3.88%). About half of all patients asked about treatment with their own eggs. Our guide to the best countries for IVF treatment explains what sits behind those choices.
The 105-page PDF gives each of the eleven countries eight pages: why patients choose it, a table of who can be treated, egg, sperm and embryo donation rules, basic package prices, add-on prices (consultations, PGT-A, embryo freezing, frozen transfers), the most popular cities, and the clinics patients choose most. A closing chapter explains how IVF success rates are reported and how to judge the numbers a clinic shows you. The guide is written by the IVF Media team, led by Jakub Dejewski and Aleksander Wiecki, and updated every year as laws and prices change. Country cost data comes from clinic representatives in each country; legal data from the ESHRE and European IVF-monitoring Consortium survey of ART legislation and from our own verification with clinics.
