Is IVF Really Cheaper in Cyprus Compared to the UK?

For patients in the UK, IVF costs can feel overwhelming. Many are now looking abroad for more affordable options. One of the most common questions is: “Is IVF really cheaper in Cyprus compared to the UK?” The short answer is yes—and here’s why.

Q1: How much does IVF cost in the UK?

In the UK, IVF is expensive, especially at private clinics:

IVF cycle: £3,500–£7,000 (excluding medication)
Medications: £1,000–£2,500
Egg donation: £7,000–£12,000
Embryo freezing: £1,000–£2,000

💷 Total per cycle: Often £6,000–£12,000+

NHS funding is limited and waiting times can be long, so most patients turn to private treatment.

Q2: How much does IVF cost in Cyprus?

Cyprus offers high-quality IVF at a fraction of the UK price:

IVF cycle: €3,000–€5,000
Medications: €800–€1,500
Egg donation: €5,500–€7,500
Embryo freezing: €500–€1,000

💶 Total per cycle: Usually €4,000–€7,500

Flights and accommodation do add expenses, but even with travel, Cyprus is more affordable:

Flights UK–Cyprus: £150–£400
Accommodation (7–10 nights): £400–£800
Local transport: (see Dream Transfers)

Total travel costs are usually less than the price difference between UK and Cyprus IVF.

Clinics in Cyprus follow international standards and have success rates comparable to the UK.
