Is third-generation IVF surrogacy legal in Hong Kong? 2026 Policy Core According to Hong Kong’s current law (Human Reproductive Technology Ordinance), surrogacy is not completely illegal in Hong Kong, but the restrictions are extremely strict. Commercial surrogacy is expressly prohibited, and altruistic surrogacy is only allowed between relatives who have no interest in the matter and requires written approval from the Human Reproductive Technology Administration. At the same time, the commissioning couple must prove medical necessity, such as hysterectomy, severe uterine disease, etc. The third-generation in vitro fertilization technology (PGT) is allowed to be used for medical purposes in Hong Kong, such as screening for genetic diseases and chromosomal abnormalities. However, combining third-generation test tubes with surrogacy requires careful operation within the legal framework. The Hong Kong government has not introduced new laws and regulations to legalize surrogacy in 2026, so commercial surrogacy remains a gray area with extremely high risks. If you are considering this path, it is recommended to give priority to Kyrgyzstan, Thailand and other countries with clearer policies. 2.
