Thinking about freezing your eggs in Singapore?
Just a few years ago, the answer would’ve been simple: only for medical reasons.
But as of July 2023, Singapore’s laws have changed—and women can now electively freeze their eggs, even without a medical condition.
That’s a huge shift. But it also raises questions:
- How much does it cost?
- Who is eligible?
- Which clinics are licensed?
- What happens to your eggs after freezing?
In this article, we’ll break it all down—so you can make an informed decision right here in Singapore.
Is Egg Freezing Legal in Singapore?
Yes—as of July 1, 2023, egg freezing is legal in Singapore for non-medical (elective) reasons.¹
Previously, it was allowed only for women undergoing cancer treatment or with other fertility-threatening conditions.
Under the new assisted reproduction law, you can now freeze your eggs for future use, even if you’re healthy and not trying to conceive now.
However, there are eligibility rules.
Who Can Freeze Their Eggs in Singapore?
Requirements:
- Aged 21–37 at the time of freezing
- Can be single or married
- Must undergo mandatory counselling on risks, costs, and limitations
