IVF in India for international patients: an overview

Who can have IVF in India

India's ART (Regulation) Act, 2021 allows IVF for married couples and single women, including foreign nationals, at clinics registered under the Act. Donor eggs and sperm come only from registered ART banks with anonymous donors. Surrogacy is not available to foreign nationals, and sex selection is prohibited.

What IVF costs in India

A standard IVF cycle in India typically costs ₹1.5–2.5 lakh before medication, ICSI, embryo freezing or genetic testing — a fraction of private prices in the UK, the US or the Gulf. Every clinic on Miro shows its price range, with an approximate figure in your currency. Always compare itemised, written quotes.

How long you need to stay

A fresh IVF cycle usually needs about two to three weeks in India: ten to twelve days of stimulation, egg retrieval, and an embryo transfer three to five days later. Many patients from abroad freeze embryos and return for a shorter frozen embryo transfer visit.

Visas and documents

Indian passport and OCI card holders need no visa. Most other nationalities apply online for the e-Medical visa with an invitation letter from the clinic, and a partner or relative can travel on the e-Medical Attendant visa. Couples are usually asked for a marriage certificate.

Choosing a clinic from abroad

Shortlist clinics that treat international patients, check each one's ART registration, published prices and Google reviews, and hold a video consultation before you book travel. Clinics marked International-ready also offer an international coordinator and the e-Medical visa letter.

Care once you are home

The pregnancy test about two weeks after transfer, and early pregnancy care, are usually arranged with a doctor where you live. Ask the clinic for a written treatment summary, and agree in advance how results will reach it.

Why patients choose India

A fraction of Western costs

An IVF cycle in India typically costs 60–80% less than in the US, UK or Australia — often ₹1.5–2.5 lakh (roughly $1,550–2,600) versus $15,000–20,000 abroad — without cutting corners on lab quality.

World-class, accredited labs

Leading Indian centres run NABH-accredited facilities and modern embryology labs, with reproductive endocrinologists trained in India, the US, UK and EU.

English-speaking specialists

Consultations, reports and coordination happen in English, so there's no language barrier for your treatment or your records.

No long waitlists

Cycles can usually be scheduled within weeks, and many clinics offer online consultations so you can plan most of the journey before you fly.

International patients — FAQ

How much does IVF cost in India for international patients?+

A standard IVF cycle is commonly ₹1.5–2.5 lakh (about $1,550–2,600), with ICSI, donor gametes, PGT or medication adding to that. It's still typically 60–80% below US/UK prices. Use the cost calculator and each clinic's listed range to plan — no clinic pays us to appear.

Is surrogacy legal in India for foreigners and NRIs?+

No, not for foreign nationals. The Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021 bans commercial surrogacy and limits altruistic surrogacy to eligible Indian couples and certain Indian women. The position of OCI cardholders has been contested in court, so take current legal advice if it applies to you.

Can I start treatment before I travel?+

Often, yes. Many clinics offer online consultations and can coordinate baseline tests and early monitoring in your home country, so your in-India stay is shorter. Look for NRI-friendly clinics that explicitly support remote coordination.

How long do I need to stay in India?+

For a fresh IVF cycle, plan for roughly 2–3 weeks around stimulation, egg retrieval and embryo transfer. A frozen-embryo transfer visit is shorter. Your clinic will give you an exact window once your protocol is set.

Can foreigners have IVF in India?+

Yes. Under the ART (Regulation) Act, 2021, IVF and other assisted reproduction are available to married couples (the woman aged 21–50, the man 21–55) and to single women, including foreign nationals. Treatment must take place at a clinic registered under the Act.

Which is the best IVF clinic in India for international patients?+

There is no single best clinic; the right one depends on your diagnosis, the city you prefer and how the clinic supports patients abroad. Start with clinics that treat international patients, check their ART registration, published prices and Google reviews, and compare two or three after a video consultation.

Do I need a medical visa for IVF in India?+

Indian passport holders and OCI cardholders do not need a visa. Most other nationalities apply online for India's e-Medical visa, using an invitation letter from the clinic; a companion can apply for the e-Medical Attendant visa. Confirm current rules on the official Indian e-Visa website.

What is the success rate of IVF in India?+

Success depends mainly on the woman's age and diagnosis, not on the country. Ask each clinic for its live-birth rate per embryo transfer for your age group and condition, rather than a headline pregnancy rate.

Can I see IVF prices in my own currency?+

Yes. Clinic prices on Miro are shown in rupees with an approximate figure in your currency at today's exchange rate. Choose the currency with the 'Show prices in' option. Clinics quote and bill in rupees, so the final amount moves with the exchange rate.

Is Miro Fertility independent?+

Yes. The guide is free for patients and independent. Clinics can pay for a Sponsored placement, which is labelled wherever it appears — but ratings and reviews come from real Google data and are never for sale.

Miro Connect is an independent discovery & enquiry platform, not a medical provider. We aggregate clinic information from publicly available sources such as Google Business Profile, clinic websites and patient-reported figures, and present it as-is: details on an unclaimed listing have not been confirmed by the clinic and may be incomplete, outdated or inaccurate, and any cost figure is an estimate rather than a quote. Nothing here is medical advice, a recommendation or an endorsement — verify a clinic's credentials and ART (Regulation) Act, 2021 registration directly before starting treatment. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Miro Connect accepts no liability for aggregated third-party information or for decisions taken on the basis of it; see our Terms of Use.
