Kyrgyzstan, a landlocked country in Central Asia, has become the surrogacy destination of choice for an increasing number of international families in recent years due to its relatively liberal surrogacy policies and favorable surrogacy prices. This article will provide you with an overview ofA comprehensive guide to surrogacy in Kyrgyzstan, covering: the latest interpretation of the law in 2025 (Citizen's Health Protection Act 2024), the detailed surrogacy process (from visa processing to baby's return), and budgeting for surrogacy costs. If you're considering legal surrogacy, then this guide will provide you with all the key information you need to make a decision, so get started on your fertility journey below!

I. Interpretation of the legal provisions on Kyrgyz surrogacy:

According to the latest version of the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On the Protection of the Health of Citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic," published on January 12, 2024 on the official website of the State Ministry of Justice of Kyrgyzstan, it is clearly stated that "Citizens have the right to use surrogate motherhood for the purpose of assisted reproduction regardless of the state of their medical health and marital status." This means that in Kyrgyzstan, singles, the LGBT community, infertile couples, and others can legally realize their dreams of having children through IVF and third-party assisted reproduction techniques.

This policy is based specifically on article 57 of the Kyrgyz Republic's Law No. 14 of January 12, 2024, on the Protection of Citizens' Health. This article clearly states that "citizens, regardless of their medical indications and marital status, have the right to raise children by means of third-party assisted reproduction." The enactment of this legislation further confirms Kyrgyzstan's openness in the area of assisted reproduction.

Significance:

• The law explicitly allows both single people and married groups to achieve procreation through surrogacy, which is still legally off-limits in many countries.
• Citizens have the right to choose surrogacy, regardless of medical condition, as long as the medical indications for assisted reproduction are met.
• The enactment of this law provides a clearer legal basis for surrogacy in Kyrgyzstan and reduces legal risks.

You can find the information on the official website of the Ministry of Justice of Kyrgyzstan (https://cbd.minjust.gov.kg/4-5260/edition/1939/ru) Check the original text of the law for more detailed information.

Below is a Surrogacy House blogger, explaining the legal provisions related to surrogacy in Kyrgyzstan:

Article 3 of the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic No. 14 on the Protection of Citizens' Health of January 12, 2024 Basic concepts and definitions used in this Law

1. Assisted reproductive technologies - methods of treating infertility (artificial insemination, artificial insemination and embryo implantation), individual or all stages of conception and early embryo development outside the mother's body (including the use of donated and cryopreserved germ cells, reproductive organ tissues and embryos, as well as assisted reproduction in three parties);

2. Third-party assisted reproduction agreement: refers to a legally binding written contract between the person who wishes to have a child and the woman who agrees to surrogacy, which specifies the rights and obligations of both parties and ensures the legality and safety of the surrogacy process. It usually includes: attribution of paternity medical expenses to be borne by the surrogate mother compensation liability for breach of contract dispute resolution.

(26) Implantation: The process of placing the fertilized egg from IVF into the uterus of the surrogate mother, where it will be deposited and continue to develop. Implantation is a key step in the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) process. In Kyrgyz surrogacy, the IVF embryo is carefully implanted into the surrogate mother's uterus with the expectation that it will successfully implant and develop into a healthy baby;

(27) Artificial insemination: Artificial insemination refers to the injection of a man's sperm into a woman's uterus artificially for the purpose of conception. Artificial insemination bypasses some of the obstacles to natural conception by delivering sperm directly into the uterus to improve the chances of conception. In some cases, it may also be used as an aid in the surrogacy process;

(28) In vitro fertilization (IVF): A method of treatment for infertility used at individual or all stages of conception and early development of the embryo outside the body;

II. Points to note in the surrogacy contract in Kyrgyzstan

The surrogacy contract is the most central legal document in the process of surrogacy in Kyrgyzstan, which regulates the rights and obligations between the commissioning parents (intended parents) and the surrogate mother. The contract is to be made in the following areas:

1. Parentage Determination: Ensuring Legal ParenthoodThis is the most crucial clause in the surrogacy contract, which determines who the parents of the child will be in the legal sense after birth. Kyrgyz law regulates surrogacy, although it is well established, and it is the biological parents who are registered on the birth certificate. However, the contract should clearly state that the commissioning parents are the intended parents of the child and have full parental and custodial rights, and clearly state that the surrogate mother relinquishes any parental and custodial rights after the birth of the child. It is agreed that both parties are obliged to cooperate in the paternity test and to assist in the relevant legal formalities.

2. Medical Expenses: Clarifying the scope and responsibility for expenses.

Surrogacy involves a range of medical expenses, including medical examinations, medications, assisted reproductive technology, pregnancy tests, delivery, and treatment for possible complications. Clearly identifying the party responsible for medical expenses can avoid financial disputes later.

The contract should list in as much detail as possible all possible items of medical expense, specifying which expenses are to be borne by the commissioning parents and which, if any, are to be borne by the surrogate mother. Usually, medical expenses related to surrogacy are borne by the commissioning parents. Agree on how and when medical expenses will be paid, e.g., in advance, in installments, etc. Clarify whether medical insurance is required and who is responsible for purchasing it.

3. Compensation for surrogate mothers: reasonable compensation to avoid legal risks

The surrogate mother has made great efforts and sacrifices to give birth to the child for the commissioning parents, and it is reasonable and necessary to provide reasonable compensation. In the contract, the compensation should be avoided to be defined as "salary" or "remuneration", but should be defined as the compensation for the surrogate mother's medical expenses, living allowances, nutritional expenses, transportation expenses, and loss of lost time due to the surrogacy, and so on. The amount of compensation should be reasonably determined according to the local economic level and the actual situation of the surrogate mother. Excessive compensation may be regarded as an illegal transaction. Agree on how and when the compensation is to be paid, e.g., in installments, in a lump sum, etc.

4. Breach of Contract: clarifying the consequences of breach and preserving the validity of the contract

A breach-of-contract clause clarifies the legal consequences that need to be borne if either party breaches the contract, which helps to preserve the validity of the contract and protects the rights and interests of the contract-abiding party. The contract should clearly set out what constitutes a breach of contract, such as the surrogate mother's refusal to deliver the child, the commissioning parent's refusal to pay the fees, and so on. Agree on the amount of liquidated damages or compensation to be paid by the breaching party to make up for the losses incurred by the defending party as a result of the breach. Agree on other remedies available to the defending party, such as enforcing performance of the contract, rescinding the contract, etc.

5. Dispute Resolution: quick resolution of disputes and avoidance of protracted litigation

Various disputes may arise during the surrogacy process, such as differences in understanding the terms of the contract, payment of medical expenses, and determination of paternity. Agreeing on a clear method of dispute resolution can help both parties to quickly resolve disputes and avoid getting into long-term litigation. It is agreed that both parties should first resolve the dispute through friendly negotiation. If negotiation fails, mediation through a third-party mediation organization can be considered. If mediation fails, the option of resolving the dispute through arbitration or litigation is available. Arbitration has the advantages of speed and confidentiality, while litigation has stronger legal effect.

Processing Time: Expect to take 30-40 days to process your baby's return.

V. Comparison of surrogacy in Kyrgyzstan and neighboring countries

The following is an in-depth analysis of Kyrgyzstan's differences in surrogacy law from Kazakhstan, Russia and Georgia, focusing on paternity determinations, legal safeguards for expenses and the latest legislative developments.

I. Differences in the determination of paternity:

Kyrgyzstan: Kyrgyzstan is one of the few countries where commercial surrogacy is explicitly permitted and the law tends to support the intended parents (the commissioning party) to become the legal parents of the child directly, without having to go through an adoption process. For single people and the LGBT+ community, although there is no explicit prohibition in law, there may be additional challenges in practice.

Kazakhstan: Laws are generally biased in favor of married heterosexual couples, and there may be serious obstacles to obtaining parental rights for singles and the LGBT community.

Russia: The legal environment is complex and constantly changing. In the past, Russia has been relatively open to surrogacy, but regulation has tightened significantly in recent years.2022 A law passed at the end of the year prohibits foreigners from obtaining a child in Russia through surrogacy, making the determination of paternity virtually impossible for non-Russian-citizen commissioning parents. This change in the law was largely motivated by considerations of children's rights and national security.

Georgia: The legal framework is the clearest and friendliest. Georgian law clearly states that once a child is born, the commissioning parents (if their own eggs and sperm are used) are automatically recognized as legal parents. The surrogate mother has no parental claim to the child. This approach provides a high degree of legal certainty for the commissioning parents, making it an attractive destination for surrogacy.

Summary: Kyrgyzstan and Georgia provide the clearest and friendliest legal frameworks for the determination of paternity. The Russian legal framework is much more restrictive and poses a serious challenge to foreign commissioning parents.

II. Cost comparison:

Kyrgyzstan: $50,000-70,000

Kazakhstan: $60,000-80,000

Russia: Prohibition of surrogacy by foreigners

Georgia: $60,000 - $80,000 (In recent years, more customers have been cheated and asked for a midway price increase)

III. Comparison of the latest legislative developments:

Kyrgyzstan. The current legal framework relies heavily on the Law on the Protection of Citizens' Health, which regulates surrogacy relatively loosely, but future legislative changes need to be closely monitored as more specific regulations may emerge as the surrogacy industry matures.

Kazakhstan: Pursuant to article 54 of the Surrogacy Act, a surrogacy contract shall be in writing and meet the requirements of the civil legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and must be notarized. The conclusion of a surrogacy agreement establishes the rights and obligations of the parents of a child born using KRT.

Russia: Regulation of surrogacy has tightened significantly in recent years. The introduction of a law in 2022 prohibiting foreigners from obtaining children through surrogacy is the most recent major legislative change and has had a significant impact on international commissioning parents. In the future, more restrictive laws may be introduced to further tighten surrogacy policies.

Georgia: The legal framework is relatively stable, but not without the potential for change. It is recommended that legislative updates be followed on an ongoing basis to ensure awareness of any potential changes that may affect the surrogacy process.

Summary: Russia has one of the most restrictive and uncertain legislative environments, with several laws introduced in recent years to tighten surrogacy policy. Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, Georgia provide the most stable legal environmentBut again, it's important to keep an eye out for potential legislative changes.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Can a foreign citizen perform third-party assisted reproduction in Kyrgyzstan?

Allowed! In accordance with the Law of Kyrgyzstan No. 14 on the Protection of Citizens' Health (effective January 12, 2024)

2. What are the conditions for third-party assisted reproduction by foreign citizens in Kyrgyzstan?

Single people who need to travel to Kyrgyzstan for third-party assisted reproduction do not need a marriage license, but only need to prepare the relevant documents and have them certified by The Hague to enjoy legal third-party assisted reproduction services.

3. What are the special issues for LGBTQ people in surrogacy in Kyrgyzstan?

LGBT surrogacy is not explicitly prohibited by law in Kyrgyzstan, resulting in a lack of legal safeguards for operations. Kyrgyzstan is generally influenced by tradition and religion (Islam predominantly), and there is significant stigmatization of the LGBTQ community, but there is also no explicit prohibition, so it is still feasible at this time!

In conclusion, Kyrgyzstan's surrogacy policy is providing hope to families with fertility needs around the globe. When choosing Kyrgyzstan as a surrogacy destination, it is important to seek the assistance of a professional agency, thorough legal counseling, and a personalized surrogacy plan to ensure that your fertility journey is safe, smooth, and ultimately rewarded with the joys of parenthood. Remember, every life is worth waiting for, and every choice should be based on full knowledge and rational judgment.
