IVF as a single woman remains legally restricted in many European countries. In the UK and Ireland, treatment is technically available but often expensive and gate-kept by clinic policy. Abroad, three destinations stand out: Greece, Latvia and North Cyprus. Greece and Latvia are EU-regulated; North Cyprus (TRNC) is outside the EU and not covered by EU tissue and donor rules, so vet clinics there carefully.
Prices for IVF with donor sperm typically start from €2,500 in Greece and €2,700 in Latvia - often 40-60% cheaper than UK equivalents - and donor egg options are widely available where own-egg IVF isn't successful.
- Greece, Latvia and North Cyprus openly treat single women
- Czech Republic and Poland do not (heterosexual couples only)
- Donor sperm treatment adds €400-€900 per cycle
- Bring a letter from your GP if requested; identity checks are standard
