More patients than ever are freezing eggs or embryos in one country and later moving to another — for work, family, or to continue treatment at a new clinic. Moving your fertility journey abroad is entirely possible with the right planning and logistics partner.
Common Scenarios
We regularly help patients in these situations:
- Frozen eggs at a Singapore or KL clinic, relocating to Australia or the UK
- Embryos created during IVF abroad, returning home for transfer
- Eggs frozen during expat assignment, moving to a new country permanently
- Couples splitting time between two countries who need samples at a specific clinic
What You Need to Arrange
Moving samples abroad requires:
- Consent documentation authorising the transfer
- Release letter from your current storage clinic
- Acceptance letter from your new clinic
- Import permit for the destination country
- An IATA-certified cryo courier for physical transport
Planning Tips
Start planning at least 6–8 weeks before you need samples at the new clinic. Keep all paperwork from your freezing cycle. Choose a clinic with international transfer experience. Budget for transport separately — it's not included in fertility treatment packages.
