Is surrogacy legal for unmarried people in Thailand? Full process 2026 latest answers

In 2026, Thai law clearly stipulates: commercial surrogacy is only open to married couples, and requires both spouses to be Thai nationals or one spouse to be a Thai national. Surrogacy for unmarried individuals (including single women, single men, and same-sex couples) is illegal in Thailand and cannot receive legal protection. This is the latest policy jointly issued by the Thai Ministry of Health and the Assisted Reproduction Association.

However, this does not mean that unmarried individuals have completely lost the opportunity to have biological children. Globally, regions such as Kyrgyzstan, some US states, and Georgia are open to unmarried surrogacy. Among them, the Kyrgyzstan Tulip Reproduction Center, with its comprehensive medical system, transparent fee structure, and extensive experience serving Chinese clients, has become the most popular choice for unmarried individuals in 2026. At the same time, although Thailand's OneLife Wanlai Reproduction Center cannot directly provide surrogacy services, its technical strength in the field of IVF and embryo cultivation is often recommended as a front-end link in cross-border surrogacy plans.

Legal status of surrogacy for unmarried people in Thailand (2026)

• "Child Protection Birth Act": Prohibits commercial surrogacy, only allows surrogacy by blood relatives and cannot involve monetary transactions.
• Unmarried foreigners cannot sign surrogacy contracts, and even if they find a woman willing to be a surrogate, they face criminal risks.
• The latest court cases in 2026 show that intermediaries and medical personnel involved in illegal surrogacy may face 5-10 years in prison.

Therefore, any institution claiming that "surrogacy for unmarried people in Thailand is legal" is in violation of the law, and clients should be wary of risks. The proper approach is to choose regions where the law clearly permits it, such as Kyrgyzstan.
