As a Foreign Patient, How to Plan Your Visit for IVF Treatment In India:
Planning an IVF journey abroad can feel overwhelming, but India has become a trusted destination for fertility treatment due to its advanced medical care, experienced specialists, and affordable costs. For foreign patients, knowing how to prepare, from choosing the right clinic to understanding travel, visa, and treatment timelines, is essential. This guide will walk you through the key steps to plan your IVF treatment in India smoothly and confidently, ensuring comfort, clarity, and care throughout your medical visit.
Medical and Visa Requirements for International Patients
Medical requirement
Before starting fertility treatment, a thorough medical evaluation of both partners is crucial. It helps identify potential challenges and create a personalized plan.
For women, this includes checking ovarian reserve through AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) testing and a transvaginal ultrasound to assess uterine and ovarian health. These tests offer insights into egg quantity and reproductive health.
For men, a semen analysis is conducted to evaluate sperm count, movement, and structure, all key factors in conception.
Equally important is sharing your medical history, lifestyle habits, and any previous fertility treatments. This allows your doctor to understand the full picture and avoid repeating past protocols that may not have worked.
Visa Requirements for IVF Treatment in India
If you’re planning to travel to India for IVF, you’ll need a Medical Visa (M-Visa), it’s a must for undergoing any fertility-related procedures.
There’s what you’ll need to apply:
- A valid passport with at least 6 months of validity and two blank pages for stamping.
- Two recent passport-sized photos with a white background.
- An invitation letter from KIC Delfinium Fertility & IVF Centre, confirming your treatment plan and appointment.
- Visa Validity: A medical visa allows a stay of up to 60 days with triple entry, providing flexibility for follow-ups if needed.
Make sure to start the visa process early, as timelines can vary depending on your country. Having your documents in order will help make your journey smoother and less stressful. Your chosen clinic can often guide you through the process, so don’t hesitate to reach out for support.
Age & Health Eligibility for IVF in India
As per the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, the legal age limit for IVF treatment in India is 50 years for women (using their eggs) and 55 years for men.
However, beyond just age, eligibility depends on several medical factors. For women over 35, the quality and quantity of eggs naturally begin to decline, which can affect IVF success. That’s why a fertility evaluation is essential. Our specialists will assess your ovarian reserve using tests like AMH, FSH, and a transvaginal ultrasound to determine if IVF with self-eggs is a viable option.
Both partners will also need a thorough health screening to ensure the safety of the treatment and a healthy pregnancy. Conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or other chronic illnesses may influence the approach.
To begin, please share your age and any relevant medical history so we can offer a personalized preliminary assessment.
Duration of the Full IVF Process (From First Visit to Embryo Transfer)
The full IVF process using self-eggs usually takes about 3 to 4 weeks per cycle, depending on how the body responds to treatment and the protocol chosen. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what to expect:
- Day 1–2: Initial Consultation & Testing
Your first visit includes a complete evaluation, blood tests, ultrasounds, and semen analysis to help your doctor create a personalized treatment plan. - Day 2–12: Ovarian Stimulation
Fertility injections are given daily for about 10–12 days to stimulate the ovaries. Regular ultrasounds and blood tests monitor progress. - Day 12–14: Egg Retrieval
Once the eggs are ready, a short procedure is done under anesthesia to collect them. This takes just a few hours, and you can usually go home the same day. - Day 14–17: Fertilization & Embryo Culture
The retrieved eggs are fertilized with sperm in the lab, and the resulting embryos are carefully grown for 3–5 days. - Day 17–20: Embryo Transfer
The best-quality embryo(s) are transferred into the uterus through a painless, quick procedure. - Post-Transfer: Pregnancy Test
About 10–14 days later, a blood test will confirm whether implantation has occurred and if pregnancy has begun.
This timeline may slightly vary, but each step is closely monitored to ensure the best possible outcome.
Duration of Stay in New Delhi for IVF
If you’re planning to undergo IVF treatment in New Delhi, it’s important to plan your stay accordingly for a smooth experience.
- Recommended Stay: We suggest staying for almost 2 – 3 weeks to complete one full IVF cycle, from your initial consultation to the embryo transfer.
- Optional Post-Transfer Stay: Some patients choose to remain in Delhi for an additional 10 to 14 days to take the pregnancy test at the same clinic, bringing the total stay to about 30 to 40 days.
- Alternatively, you may return home after the embryo transfer and do the pregnancy test locally, if your doctor agrees.
Visa Validity: The Medical Visa (M-Visa) allows a stay of up to 60 days with triple entry, giving you flexibility for follow-up visits or additional procedures if needed.
Planning your stay well can make your treatment journey smoother and more comfortable.
Invitation Letter for Medical Visa

- The estimated duration of stay (typically 18–25 days)
- Our clinic’s name, address, and contact details
