But before we can plan a wedding for you, you need to find your best mail order bride. Let’s go over the basic steps of the search and what comes after.

How to get a mail order bride

You are in the wrong place if you expect to buy a bride online. But if you are curious about other cultures and excited to meet foreign women, I’m here to help. Let’s go over a few of the most effective methods of meeting foreigners for dating.

Niche mail order bride sites

Niche dating sites are the most effective means to find a mail order bride. Unlike mainstream dating sites and platforms, where users are mostly interested in casual dating and hookups, mail order sites mostly attract singles interested in long-term relationships and marriage.

Besides, niche sites have some of the most detailed dating profiles I’ve ever seen. With dozens of photos and detailed bios in every profile, it’s easy to find like-minded, compatible matches. The only common downside of niche platforms is that they don’t let members chat with each other for free. You’ll need to upgrade to premium, but you can test the full functionality with a free trial.

Social media

Facebook and Instagram attract millions of users across most countries, and they offer plenty of chances to meet Asian, European, or Latin brides. Personal accounts hold as much info as any dating profile, and you can usually chat or video call on your desktop, laptop, or mobile without paying a penny.

On the other hand, social media profiles are usually private. Most girls don’t take lightly to strangers trying to contact them and ignore flirty messages. Besides, if you are interested in women from other countries, their profiles will usually be in their native languages, not English. 

I only recommend using social media tools to meet foreign women if you have a lot of free time and like spending it on Instagram or Facebook. Don’t expect fast results.

Local ethnic communities

If you live in a big city, there is a chance you can find a foreign wife in one of the ethnic communities. For example, if you are drawn to Asian brides, check out the local Chinatown. Start frequenting restaurants and bars popular among the Asian population, shop at small family-owned bodegas, and research national festivals and celebrations you can join.

Unfortunately, this approach only works if you live in a city big enough to have a thriving foreign community. Besides, any women you meet this way will likely be Westernized and lacking some of the national appeal you’re looking for. 

I suggest using this approach in combination with online dating on niche sites or social media. Otherwise, finding single girls and getting dates will take a long time and might cause awkward situations if you confuse the countries of origin of Asian or Latin women. 

International travel

Traveling for business or pleasure seems like the most obvious solution if you are interested in foreign women. You get to experience them in their usual surroundings, without the help of Photoshop and video filters, and avoid most romance scam risks. You can meet dozens of single European brides in a week of travels, but that’s usually not enough to start a serious relationship. Moreover, most women do not take relationships with American tourists seriously. 

Ultimately, I recommend you find a mail order bride online before embarking on your journey. This way, you will save time and money and make the most of your overseas trip.

How much does a mail order bride cost?

Obviously, you cannot buy a wife online. But dating isn’t cheap, especially when you’re halfway across the world from each other. So, let’s go over all the major expense categories you can expect when dating a foreign woman:

  1. Online dating expenses — from $100 per month. Since most niche sites rely on pay-per-action plans, you have complete control over your spending. Still, it will take you at least a few months to find compatible matches. With careful budgeting, you can expect to spend from $1,200 to $2,400 in a year.
  2. Travel spending — from $1,500 per week. You need to take at least two trips to visit your bride, each at least a week long. Obviously, the airplane tickets, hotel stay, transportation, and entertainment costs will depend on your destination, season, and lifestyle preferences.
  3. Immigration paperwork — around $2,400. Aside from a non-immigrant visa application, this includes the cost of filing a petition for an alien fiance and the cost of adjustment of status paperwork. You may also need to cover medical exams, vaccinations, and immigration attorney fees.

I didn’t include wedding expenses in the calculation because the range is too broad. If you are on a budget, you can opt for a courthouse wedding that will cost to you around $200, marriage license and witnesses included. A lavish ceremony with dozens of guests will cost you around $33,000, but you can spend around $10,000 as well if you prefer a bit more conservative style. 

Is it legal today?

It’s legal to interact with, date, and marry mail order brides.

Most countries, including the US, recognize international marriage as long as the bride and groom aren’t related, are over the age of consent, and are free from previous marriages. You can get married Stateside or abroad and get your marriage recognized in the US. It takes some jumping through the hoops, but thousands of couples go through this process every year, and so can you.

There are some exceptions to the general consensus. For example, mail order bride sites are illegal in the Philippines under the Anti-Mail-Order Spouse Act. Other countries, like Afghanistan, prohibit local women from marrying foreigners who are not Muslim.

Final thoughts

Your life would probably be much easier if you could just buy a wife. But the times have changed, and it’s a good thing. Instead of dreading the dating scene, embrace the adventure of discovering other cultures, traditions, and weird dating rituals. 

If you use the legit mail order bride platforms I recommend, you will have no shortage of compatible and eager partners, whether you are interested in Latin, Asian, or European girls. As long as you remember to let go of outdated stereotypes and embrace their differences, you should have no trouble building stable relationships, even with thousands of miles separating you.
