Desk research against primary sources. Figures are traced to the issuing UAE authority and linked on the page.
Eligibility is checked at the clinic before treatment begins, not assumed from your visa status or nationality, so a marriage certificate recognised in the UAE is typically required before a DHA-licensed clinic will proceed. The restriction on donor gametes and the lack of recognition for surrogacy arrangements mean some patients who would qualify for those routes elsewhere pursue treatment abroad instead, which is a decision worth making early rather than partway through a cycle already under way locally.
The quoted cost per cycle already includes medications, but that figure is for one attempt, and IVF frequently requires more than a single cycle to succeed, so the practical budget question is how many cycles you are prepared to fund rather than the cost of any one of them. Because insurance rarely contributes, ask the clinic for a written cost breakdown per cycle before starting, so you know what a second or third attempt would add rather than discovering it once the first cycle has already been paid for.
