Ask Us Directly →
Do I need a special visa to travel to India for IVF?
Yes. You need a Medical Visa (MED) — not a tourist visa. Your Fertibridge clinic provides the support letter required for your application. Cost is approximately $80–$120 USD and processing takes 3–7 working days.
Can I do initial consultations remotely before travelling?
Yes. All Fertibridge clinics offer teleconsultation for international patients. Initial blood tests and semen analysis can also be done at a clinic near your home and results shared digitally — reducing your time in India.
Is egg donation legal in India for international patients?
Yes. Egg donation is legal and regulated under India's ART (Regulation) Act 2021. Married heterosexual couples from any country are eligible. Donation is anonymous under Indian law.
What is the best city in India for IVF?
Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Chennai all have excellent accredited IVF clinics. Delhi and Mumbai offer the widest range of clinics and best flight connectivity. Bangalore is popular for its comfortable climate and English-speaking environment. The best city depends on which specific clinic best suits your diagnosis.
How is Fertibridge different from other medical tourism companies?
Fertibridge independently verifies every clinic before listing — checking accreditation, doctor credentials, laboratory standards and real success rates. We do not accept payment for listings. We surface excellent clinics that are invisible to Western patients online, not just the most marketed ones. Our service is completely free for patients.
