US ordinary passport holders are generally visa-exempt for short stays of up to 90 days in Turkey. Entry rules can change, and medical travel may require extra checks, so confirm current guidance with official US and Turkish sources before booking.
What safety and privacy standards do Turkish clinics follow?
Turkish fertility clinics operate under strict regulations from the Turkish Ministry of Health. JCI-accredited facilities follow international protocols for patient safety, data privacy, and clinical standards comparable to HIPAA and FDA requirements.
