Is it still allowed to go to Georgia for in vitro fertilization (IVF) in 2025?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Short answer:<\/strong><span class=\"highlight-green\">It is still being done, but there is uncertainty about policy re-advancement.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Long answer:<\/strong>2023 Georgia's Prime Minister publicly proposes to restrict the use of surrogacy and IVF by foreigners from 2024-01-01 and announces that he will send the draft to Parliament; this is reported in various international and local media, but it is<strong>\"Policy direction\"<\/strong>, is not a law that has entered into force.<\/p>\n<p>As we enter 2024-2025, there is no official announcement of the law coming into force; on the contrary, in recent months, some local Georgian law firms and organizations have made it clear that commercial surrogacy\/IVF for foreigners is still in operation under the current framework, but that there is a tightening of the policy and that we need to follow the parliamentary developments closely. There are also service providers who say that \"the bill has not been passed and the rules have not changed yet\". This means:<strong class=\"highlight-blue\">It can be done, but be sure to nail down contractual \"change clauses\" and transfer plans first.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Operational Recommendations:<\/strong>Get a written opinion from a local Georgia reproductive law attorney and include a clear path in the contract \"if legislation comes into effect \u2192 refund\/alternative performance\/embryo transfer\";<strong style=\"color: red;\">Don't treat agency web pages as legal texts.<\/strong>The above approach reduces uncertainty to a manageable level.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-728 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surrogacyjourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/daiyun9.jpg\" alt=\"Surrogacy costs in Georgia\" width=\"600\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.surrogacyjourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/daiyun9.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.surrogacyjourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/daiyun9-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2%E3%80%81%E6%A0%BC%E9%B2%81%E5%90%89%E4%BA%9A%E4%B8%80%E4%B8%AA%E4%BB%A3%E5%AD%95%E5%AD%A9%E5%AD%90%E5%88%B0%E5%BA%95%E5%A4%9A%E5%B0%91%E9%92%B1%EF%BC%9F%E8%B4%B9%E7%94%A8%E6%9E%84%E6%88%90%E6%98%AF%E6%80%8E%E6%A0%B7%E7%9A%84%EF%BC%9F\"><\/span>2. How much does a surrogate child in Georgia really cost?

A number of agency pages that have been updated in recent months give ranges and compositions that are broadly in line with each other:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Surrogate compensation is usually in <strong>$25,000-$30,000<\/strong>Up and down;<\/li>\n<li>Medical expenses (ovulation, retrieval, implantation, pregnancy tests, delivery, etc.), medicines, legal and translation, coordination and administration fees together make up the bulk of the remainder;<\/li>\n<li>Some programs break up egg donation\/PGT, complication insurance, and neonatal NICU costs into optional items, so ask ahead of time if they are included.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You'll see lower or higher advertised prices (e.g., 40k+ or 70k+ for \"all-inclusive\/multiple attempts\"), which are influenced by factors such as: whether they carry their own embryos, egg donor population and channels, inclusion of multiple attempts and surrogacy allowance tiers, inclusion of delivery and neonatal costs, and agency premiums. Be sure to ask the service provider to itemize and put the refund conditions into enforceable terms.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3%E3%80%81%E6%A0%BC%E9%B2%81%E5%90%89%E4%BA%9A%E4%BB%A3%E5%AD%95%E4%BA%A7%E4%B8%9A%E7%9A%84%E6%9C%AA%E6%9D%A5%E5%B0%86%E8%B5%B0%E5%90%91%E4%BD%95%E6%96%B9%EF%BC%9F\"><\/span>3. Where is the future of Georgia's surrogacy industry headed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Three judgments can be made with a straight face:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The direction of policy \"tightening\" remains unchanged.<\/strong> Since 2023, there have been several signals at the government level to tighten commercial surrogacy\/IVF for foreigners (even discussing a shift to \"altruistic, national citizens only\") for reasons ranging from ethical and human trafficking risks to spillover from commercialization of the industry. Although no law has yet come into effect, this \"political wind\" is still blowing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Regional spillovers continue.<\/strong> Geopolitical changes in Russia and Ukraine and Russia's 2022 ban on foreign surrogacy continue to divert demand to Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and the U.S. Ukraine still legally permits surrogacy for married heterosexuals, but wartime uncertainty, public opinion, and law enforcement have become more elastic. The industry is more of a \"policy-mobile\" flex industry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\"Compliance transparency\" was mentioned more frequently.<\/strong> Many local organizations and law firms have begun to emphasize contractual compliance, registration paths, proof of paternity, and other details, which is a \"market self-correction\" signal: whoever can provide a clear legal closure will have a better future.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>My position:<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: #ffcdd2; padding: 2px 5px; border-radius: 3px;\">Don't bet on regulation.<\/span>If budget permits, prioritize jurisdictions with more legal certainty (e.g., the United States, Kyrgyzstan, both countries); if still looking at Georgia, use \"<strong>Legal text + written opinion of counsel + actual window process of registration\/certification<\/strong>\"Triple calibration for certainty.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u5f88\u591a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5bb6\u5ead\u8fd9\u4e24\u5e74\u88ab\u201c\u683c\u9c81\u5409\u4e9a\u4ee3\u5b55\u65b0\u653f\u7b56\u201d\u7ffb\u6765\u8986\u53bb\u5730\u5413\u8fc7\uff1a\u6709\u4eba\u8bf4\u201c2024 \u5e74\u8d77\u5168\u9762\u7981\u6b62\u5916\u56fd\u4eba\u4ee3\u5b55\u201d\uff0c\u4e5f\u6709\u4eba\u8bf4 [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":770,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-georgian-surrogacy"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.surrogacyjourneys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.surrogacyjourneys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.surrogacyjourneys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.surrogacyjourneys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.surrogacyjourneys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=763"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.surrogacyjourneys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3044,"href":"https:\/\/www.surrogacyjourneys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763\/revisions\/3044"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.surrogacyjourneys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.surrogacyjourneys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.surrogacyjourneys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.surrogacyjourneys.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
