Surrogacy Visa
What is a Surrogacy Visa?

Applicants must typically present **hospital records, birth registration, parentage or guardianship documents, and embassy authorization** for the infant’s passport or exit permit. Each country enforces distinct eligibility, documentation, and parental rights verification procedures, often in close coordination with **local surrogacy agencies, clinics, and consular authorities**.

Stay Duration
Short-term stay linked to the child’s birth registration, passport issuance, and travel authorization.
