When planning IVF treatment abroad, one of the most common questions intended parents ask is:
“What is the age limit for IVF in Cyprus in 2026?”
This is an important factor — both medically and legally — as different countries apply different restrictions for fertility treatment. Here’s what you should know.
Q1: Is there a legal age limit for IVF in Cyprus?
Yes. While Cyprus has no strict government law setting a universal limit, most licensed fertility clinics follow medical and ethical guidelines approved by the Cyprus Ministry of Health.
In 2026, the recommended upper age limit for IVF treatment in Cyprus is 50 years old for women, though individual clinics may assess cases between ages 50–52 on a medical basis.
Q2: Why does this limit exist?
The limit is set for medical safety and success rate reasons.
-
Female fertility naturally declines after 45.
-
IVF success rates drop sharply after this age.
-
Pregnancy complications become more likely beyond 50.
Clinics prioritize both the health of the patient and the child’s well-being — making age limits an ethical necessity, not just a legal one.
Q3: What about donor egg programs?
For patients over 45, egg donation offers a higher success rate and may extend eligibility.
Many clinics, including those in Cyprus, accept women up to age 50 (and sometimes slightly older) for IVF with donor eggs, provided a full medical evaluation confirms it’s safe.

Q4: What is the age limit for men?
There is no official upper age limit for male partners, but fertility specialists typically recommend sperm evaluation for men over 55 to assess quality and health factors.
