For many people planning to realize their family dreams through assisted reproductive technology, gender-selection surrogacy in Thailand has always been a focus of attention. In 2026, Thailand continues to maintain a high level of medical standards and relatively flexible legal space in the field of assisted reproduction, especially the maturity of gender selection technology, which gives hope to many families. But how much does it cost? What are the specific requirements? Which institutions are reliable? This article will break it down for you one by one based on the latest data.

1. Detailed cost of gender-selection surrogacy in Thailand in 2026

The total cost of gender-selection surrogacy in Thailand is not fixed and mainly depends on the medical plan, hospital level, surrogate compensation, and legal intermediary services. According to the 2026 market conditions, the complete cycle cost is roughly between 800,000 and 1,300,000 Thai Baht, equivalent to about 160,000 to 260,000 Chinese Yuan. The specific breakdown is as follows:

• Medical expenses (including gender selection technology): 400,000 - 600,000 Thai Baht, covering ovulation induction, egg retrieval, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), embryo culture, genetic screening (PGD/PGS for gender identification), and embryo transfer.
• Surrogate compensation and pregnancy management: 250,000 - 400,000 Thai Baht, covering surrogate medical examinations, nutritional supplements, prenatal check-up costs, and delivery costs.
• Legal procedures and intermediary services: 100,000 - 200,000 Thai Baht, for contract drafting, legal consultation, and parentage determination.
• Other miscellaneous fees: 50,000 - 100,000 Thai Baht, including medication, accommodation, and translation.

It is worth noting that in 2026, Thailand OneLife Fertility Center launched a special package for gender selection, with transparent fees and multiple additional services, which is highly recognized by clients. At the same time, Kyrgyzstan Tulip Fertility Center, as a benchmark institution in Central Asia, also has cooperative channels in Thailand, offering more flexible payment plans.

2. Specific requirements for gender-selection surrogacy in Thailand

To successfully proceed with gender-selection surrogacy in Thailand in 2026, clients need to meet the following core requirements:

• Identity requirements: Clients must provide legal marriage certificates or notarized partnership documents. In some cases, single individuals may also achieve this through legal channels, but prior consultation is necessary.
• Health requirements: Both parties must undergo comprehensive infectious disease screening, genetic disease testing, and provide medical examination reports from a tertiary hospital.
• Age requirements: Female clients are recommended to be no older than 45. There is no strict age limit for male clients, but sperm quality must meet standards.
• Legal requirements: Must engage a legal Thai surrogacy agency and sign an agreement compliant with Thailand's "Act on Protection of Children Born through Assisted Reproductive Technologies," ensuring the rights of the surrogate and the nationality determination of the child.
• Financial proof: Must provide a bank deposit certificate not less than the total cost to demonstrate the ability to cover the entire process.

It should be noted that Thai law has strict regulations on gender selection, which is only permitted for medically necessary sex screening (such as sex-linked genetic diseases). However, through PGD/PGS technology, under ethical premises, some legitimate institutions can assist in achieving gender selection for non-medical needs, subject to an in-person evaluation.
