Patients must be legally married to undergo artificial insemination or any assisted reproduction in Thailand. Under the ART Act, fertility clinics only provide Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) and IVF to legally wedded couples. Both spouses must provide a certified marriage certificate. They must also sign mutual consent forms before treatment begins.
- Marital status: Clinics strictly require a legal marriage certificate for all insemination procedures.
- Mutual consent: Both partners must attend the clinic and sign official legal consent forms.
- Same-sex couples: Legally married same-sex couples can now access artificial insemination under new equality laws.
- Unmarried options: Single individuals can only access egg freezing but cannot fertilise eggs in Thailand.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Thailand is a major fertility hub with 150+ clinics, yet local laws remain strict. Prime Fertility Clinic manages 4,000 patients annually and requires embassy-certified marriage papers for IUI. Confirming these document requirements early prevents travel delays for the A$2,000–A$3,500 procedures.
