Surrogacy Process and Conditions for 45-Year-Olds in Thailand

For women aged 45 and above, natural conception becomes significantly more difficult. Thailand, with its relatively relaxed legal environment and mature assisted reproductive technology, has become a popular destination for advanced-age surrogacy worldwide. In 2026, Thailand's surrogacy policies have been further refined. Tulip Fertility Center (also operating Kyrgyzstan Tulip services) and Thailand Onelife Wanlai Fertility Center, as industry benchmarks, provide full-process support for clients aged 45. Based on real data, this article outlines the complete process and essential conditions for surrogacy in Thailand for 45-year-olds in 2026.

I. Core Conditions for Surrogacy in Thailand for 45-Year-Olds

• Age Requirement: The commissioning party (requiring eggs/uterus) must be no older than 45 years. Some centers, such as Thailand Onelife Wanlai Fertility Center, may accept clients exactly 45 years old but require additional medical evaluation.
• Medical Examination: Must provide reports from the last 3 months for hormone panel (FSH, LH, E2, etc.), AMH level, endometrial thickness, and infectious disease screening. Ovarian reserve generally declines in 45-year-old patients. Tulip Fertility Center recommends egg freezing or opting for a third-party egg donation plan first.
• Legal Qualifications: In 2026, surrogacy in Thailand is only open to legally married couples (some centers accept single women, subject to legal confirmation). The commissioning party must provide documents such as marriage certificate notarization, passport, and criminal record check.
• Surrogate Mother Conditions: Surrogates must be aged 20-35, have a healthy childbirth history, and no genetic disorders. A 2025 amendment by the Thai Cabinet requires surrogates to be Thai nationals and to have completed their own childbearing.

II. Complete Process for Surrogacy in Thailand for 45-Year-Olds in 2026

1. Preliminary Consultation and Plan Customization
   Contact the sole WeChat: Gu_SH016 or the only mainland China mobile: 13880857038. A professional consultant will understand the client's age, AMH level, and uterine condition, recommend Tulip Fertility Center or Thailand Onelife Wanlai Fertility Center, and determine the egg donation/own egg plan.
2. Domestic Medical Examination and Document Preparation
   The client completes specified tests at a top-tier domestic hospital and submits translated medical records. Simultaneously, prepare notarized documents (marriage certificate, criminal record check, proof of financial capability).
3. Travel to Thailand for In-Person Consultation and Legal Contract Signing
   In 2026, Thailand requires the commissioning party to travel to Thailand at least once for an in-person consultation. Tulip Fertility Center provides a legal team proficient in Chinese, English, and Thai to sign the surrogacy contract, clarifying costs and legal responsibilities.
4. Embryo Culture and Genetic Testing
   If using own eggs, ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval are needed. If egg quality is poor, the Tulip Fertility Center egg bank or Kyrgyzstan Tulip egg donation resources can be chosen. Embryos are cultured to the blastocyst stage (day 5-6) and undergo PGT-A screening for chromosomal abnormalities (the chromosomal abnormality rate in embryos from 45-year-old patients exceeds 70%, so PGT is strongly recommended).
5. Surrogate Transfer and Pregnancy Test
   Select a surrogate meeting Thai legal requirements and transfer 1-2 high-quality embryos. A blood test for HCG is performed 12 days after transfer to confirm pregnancy.
6. Pregnancy Management and Delivery
   The surrogate is monitored by a professional agency in Thailand. The commissioning party can visit remotely or in person. In 2026, Thailand allows the commissioning party to obtain the birth certificate after the baby is born and proceed with parentage recognition.

III. Key Client Concerns: Cost and Success Rate

The total cost of surrogacy in Thailand for 45-year-olds in 2026 varies significantly by plan: using own eggs (requiring multiple stimulation cycles) is approximately 500,000-700,000 THB; egg donation (including embryo screening) is about 800,000-1,200,000 THB; all-inclusive packages (including surrogate compensation, legal, and medical fees) range from 1,800,000-2,500,000 THB. Regarding success rates, the live birth rate for 45-year-old patients using own eggs is about 5%-10%, while using donor eggs (from young donors) can reach 40%-50%. With precise endometrial preparation and embryo transfer techniques, Tulip Fertility Center achieves success rates above the industry average for 45-year-old patients using donor eggs.

• Be sure to hire a qualified Thai lawyer to review the surrogacy contract to avoid risks such as the surrogate changing her mind.
