Here is information on egg donation in Taiwan:
In Taiwan, the Artificial Reproduction Act (人工生殖法) bans egg or sperm donors from charging a fee, but a “nutrition subsidy” can be given, although the amount has varied widely. Egg donors are readily available in Taiwan, due to the rather generous “nutrition subsidy" remuneration of up to NT$99,000 (approximately SGD$4,661).

- Egg donors must be between 20 and 39 years old
- Egg donors are allowed to receive "nutrition" subsidy up to NT$99,000 (approximately SGD$4,661)
- Foreigners are allowed to receive egg donation in Taiwan. In fact, numerous Japanese patients have done egg donation in Taiwan.
- There is a limit of one live birth per egg donor. After that, no more eggs are allowed to be donated from that particular donor. Hence, there are minimal risks of accidental incest.
- Prospective egg donors are extensively tested for genetic and infectious diseases, including the following (as recommended and/or required by ACOG, ACMG, ASRM and FDA):
- HIV 1, 2 & 0, Hepatitis B & C, Syphilis, Gonorrhea & Chlamydia
- Full chromosome analysis (karyotype)
- DNA testing for Cystic Fibrosis (99 mutations), Fragile X, Tay Sachs & Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
- Fertility evaluation including hormone testing and ultrasound evaluation of the ovaries
- An extended panel of ancestry-based genetic disorders has been completed for some donors
