Kyrgyzstan offers visa-free entry for citizens of many countries, including China, EU member states, and others. Citizens of countries that do require a visa can apply for an e-Visa online. Our coordination team will advise on your specific nationality when you enquire.

This depends on your treatment. For a standard IVF cycle, most patients spend approximately 10–14 days in Bishkek for the active monitoring and retrieval phase. For a frozen embryo transfer, a second shorter visit of 5–7 days is typically required. Surrogacy programmes generally require two trips: one for the IVF cycle and one for the birth. Remote monitoring between visits is supported via teleconsultation.

IRMC's coordination team can suggest accommodation options near the clinic across a range of budgets. Bishkek is an affordable city with good hotel and serviced apartment options. Many patients find the cost of accommodation and daily life in Bishkek significantly lower than they expected.

Bishkek is a stable, modern capital city. International patients from across Asia and Europe visit IRMC regularly, and the clinic has extensive experience supporting patients with travel logistics. Our coordination team is available to answer any practical questions about visiting Kyrgyzstan.

Yes. Gestational surrogacy is explicitly regulated under the Kyrgyz Family Code. The intended parents — not the gestational carrier — are recognised as the legal parents on the birth certificate from the outset. This applies to heterosexual couples and, in many circumstances, to single individuals. Our legal team will advise on your specific situation.

Under Kyrgyz law, the intended parents are listed on the birth certificate as the legal parents. The gestational carrier has no parental claim. Our legal team manages the birth registration process and ensures all documentation is in order before parents leave Kyrgyzstan.

Egg and sperm donation are legally permitted in Kyrgyzstan. Donors undergo thorough medical and psychological screening, and all donations are made under legal agreements that protect all parties. Donor identity is anonymised in accordance with clinic policy and local law.

This depends on your nationality and your home country's laws regarding surrogacy and parentage. IRMC's legal team has experience with the documentation requirements of many countries. We strongly recommend discussing your specific nationality during your initial consultation so we can advise on the process before treatment begins.

Treatment costs vary depending on the specific protocol, any additional procedures required (such as PGT genetic screening), and whether third-party donors or a gestational carrier are involved. IRMC provides a detailed, itemised cost breakdown at the outset of treatment — before any commitment is required. Contact our team for a personalised estimate.

The detailed cost breakdown provided at the start of your journey will specify exactly what is and is not included. Typically this covers all medical consultations, laboratory procedures, monitoring appointments, and medications during treatment. For surrogacy programmes, carrier coordination and legal support are included within the programme fee.

IRMC was specifically positioned to offer US-standard clinical quality at a cost significantly below equivalent clinics in the United States, Western Europe, or Australia. Many patients find that travel, accommodation, and treatment combined at IRMC is still considerably less expensive than treatment alone in their home country.

IRMC's team is fully bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese. Medical consultations, written communications, and all patient documentation can be provided in both languages. Our coordination team handles all liaison between the patient and the clinical team.

Your assigned coordinator is your primary point of contact throughout treatment. They are reachable via WhatsApp, phone, or email and are available to answer questions, schedule appointments, and relay clinical updates. Video consultations with the treating physician can be arranged at any stage.

Teleconsultation with IRMC's medical team is available throughout your treatment journey. For patients in surrogacy programmes, the obstetric team provides regular pregnancy updates and supports your remote monitoring with your home physician. You are never left without access to clinical advice.

IRMC provides teleconsultation follow-up after treatment. For IVF and embryo transfer cycles, our team monitors your early pregnancy and supports the transition to your home physician or obstetrician. For surrogacy programmes, our obstetric team continues to oversee the pregnancy in Bishkek, with regular updates shared with you remotely.

Yes. Comprehensive medical records, including all cycle data, laboratory results, and clinical notes, are provided to patients. These can be shared with your local physician to support continuity of care. Our coordinators can assist with translating documentation if required.

If a cycle does not result in a pregnancy, our team will review the outcome in detail and discuss what can be learned from it. Many patients who did not succeed elsewhere have gone on to successful outcomes at IRMC through a revised protocol. We will always be honest about what we believe the next best step is.
