Authoritative review, ranking & ratings of international surrogacy

Commercial (gestational) surrogacy is legal, with a legal basis dating to the 1997 Law on Health Care. It remains open to foreigners, but only to married heterosexual couples. In June 2023 the government announced a plan to ban surrogacy for foreigners (intended for Jan 2024), but the bill was withdrawn before its third reading and never took effect; as of July 2026 no new bill is before parliament — political uncertainty remains.

Gestational, commercial (compensated) surrogacy is legal, based on the 2002 Law on Human Reproductive Health and Reproductive Rights. It is open to foreigners and has the broadest eligibility of the three countries (singles allowed since 2024). However, a July 2024 amendment bars Armenian citizens from acting as surrogates for foreign intended parents.

Gestational, commercial surrogacy is legal under Family Code Arts. 123/139 and MoH Order 787/187. It is open to foreigners, but only to married heterosexual couples with a medical indication. The war (since 2022) continues; operations run mainly in central/western regions. Draft Law 13683 (Aug 2025) would ban foreign surrogacy but has not passed.

Commercial (compensated) surrogacy is legal under statute: the 2015 Law on Reproductive Rights of Citizens established the framework; the operative rules are now Article 57 of the Law on the Protection of Citizens' Health (No. 14, 12 January 2024) plus Cabinet Resolution No. 616 (14 October 2024) detailing procedure and conditions. Open to foreigners (some sources say legal residence in Kyrgyzstan is required — pending verification). An emerging destination absorbing the industry shift after Georgia's tightening in 2024–2026.
