Fertility Clinics in Slovakia
Background | Slovakia is competing with its closest neighbours Poland and the Czech Republic, to become a more established IVF destination for those travelling abroad for treatment. It is a small country with beautiful countryside and cities bustling with life. The costs of treatment are low and low cost travel makes it an attractive destination. Whilst the quality of healthcare is growing fast the signs are that Slovakia will quickly become a popular destination for fertility tourism. | |

Passports & visas | If you hold a British Citizen passport, you don’t need a visa to enter Slovakia. | |
Health & Safety | You should get a free European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before leaving the UK. After 31 December 2020, your UK-issued EHIC might not be valid. The EHIC entitles you to state provided medical treatment that may become necessary during your trip. Any treatment provided is on the same terms as Slovakian nationals. It is important to take out comprehensive travel insurance that includes cover for emergency medical treatment and associated costs. The existing EHIC arrangements are not an alternative to travel insurance, as some health-related costs, including for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment and non-urgent treatment, are not covered. | |
