Outcomes & success benchmarks

Registry data available

The outcome metrics that will grade this procedure in the Medical Travel Cost Index — filled from clinical registries and hospital-published data, never guessed.

What outcomes to expect — national registry benchmarks

These figures come from large clinical registries (UK, US and other national/international programs) — they describe the whole registry's patient population, not any hospital or country shown on this page. No hospital here has published its own outcome rate; ask any clinic you shortlist for theirs.

  • Live birth rate per embryo transferred — age 18–34 UK IVF patients aged 18-34, own eggs, fresh embryo transfer, 2021 (preliminary) Denominator is per EMBRYO TRANSFERRED, not per cycle or per patient.

South Korea for medical travel — safety, recourse & visa

Sourced Full South Korea guide →

What matters if it goes wrong, and what it takes to get there — country-level, verifiable guidance in one place.

Visa
Most Western nationalities (US, UK, EU/Schengen, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan) enter visa-free for short medical or tourist visits. The K-ETA (electronic travel authorization) requirement is temporarily WAIVED for 67 countries and territories through 31 December 2026 — eligible travellers enter without applying for a K-ETA; the requirement is expected to resume 1 January 2027. Confirm your nationality's current rule before travelling.
Medical / long-stay visa
For treatment, foreign patients typically use the C-3-3 medical tourism visa (short-term, stays up to 90 days, generally not extendable beyond 90 days except in special circumstances). For treatment or recovery longer than 90 days, patients change to or apply for the G-1-10 long-term medical treatment visa, which can be extended inside Korea; it requires hospital documentation (medical opinion, treatment schedule, payment records). Applications must be tied to a medical institution registered with KTO/KHIDI.
Arrival
From 1 January 2026, all foreign arrivals must file the mandatory digital e-Arrival Card online (within 3 days before arrival) — it replaces the paper disembarkation card and is a declaration, not a visa. Travellers who hold an approved K-ETA are exempt from the arrival card, but nationals of K-ETA-waived countries (US, UK, EU, Japan, etc.) must still complete the e-Arrival Card.
Currency
South Korean Won (KRW, ₩)
Languages
Korean; English widely spoken in international-patient centers at major hospitals, with interpreter services in multiple languages
Traveller safety
Very safe for visitors
Legal recourse
Established malpractice recourse
Insurance
Medical-travel & complication cover widely available
International patients
Hospitals accustomed to international patients

General guidance from public sources — confirm current rules for your nationality. Verified against: Korea Immigration — K-ETA temporary exemption extended to 31 Dec 2026 (MOFA/KPMG GMS alert) · Korea e-Arrival Card mandatory from 1 Jan 2026 · Medical Korea — medical visa (C-3-3 / G-1-10), KHIDI · MOHW — Korea attracts 1.17 million foreign patients in 2024.
