What will you find in Vietnam, true love or disappointment? 18+K Vietnamese singles marry foreigners yearly. We’ll tell you what their spouses really get!

If we imagine that the international dating market is a rock scene, Vietnamese mail-order brides would be the rising stars. Yes, old stars like Thai women and Pinay girls are still here and are still shining brightly, but they now have a serious competitor. 

But what should you expect from Vietnamese women for marriage? How to start your dating journey in Vietnam and is it worth it for you personally? Keep reading to find answers to these and many more questions about Vietnamese brides. 

What you should know before ordering a Vietnamese bride?

Let’s start with some key facts about a Vietnamese mail-order bride you can potentially meet online or offline. 

  1. Many Vietnamese women are known and loved for their friendliness, hospitality, inner and outer beauty, kindness, and talent for hard work. 
  2. You can’t buy a wife from Vietnam online or offline. It’s illegal. You can only meet a single woman (usually, it happens on niche dating sites) and build a genuine relationship with her. 
  3. A modern Vietnamese girl for marriage looking for a partner overseas usually isn’t financially compensated by her groom and isn’t going to get married just to immigrate. Modern mail-order brides are focused on finding a decent partner rather than just finding a foreign husband. 
  4. A foreign bride from Vietnam will need to apply for a visa if things get serious and you’ll propose to her. She’ll be able to get it only if you have a genuine relationship and if you’ve met in real life. 

At this stage, we’ve already dispelled some myths so you can develop realistic expectations about what’s going to happen if you decide to search for a wife in Vietnam. If you think it’s a good idea overall, just read on. You’ll find more useful details below. 

Who is a Vietnamese mail-order bride and what does she do?

There’s no denying that there are a lot of myths about mail-order brides, in particular, Asian brides. That’s why we’d like to start with some definitions. 

“A Vietnamese mail-order bride is a single woman from Vietnam who’s ready to settle down and start a family in the near future if she meets a decent man. She doesn’t just wait for a partner to come into her life. She prefers to actively search for him, in most cases, on niche international dating sites or mail-order bride sites as she chooses foreigners over potential partners from Vietnam. That, in turn, may be explained by different reasons, but contrary to common belief, a Vietnamese woman isn’t motivated by money or the fact of marriage migration as is.” 

Basically, here’s what a Vietnamese bride does: 

  • Is looking for a man to marry online. 
  • Builds a genuine relationship with a decent partner online first. 
  • Meets her potential husband in real life, and if everything goes right, agrees to marry him. 
  • Applies for a visa and goes to her groom’s country once she gets it. 
  • Get married. 
  • Lives a regular healthy family life. 

There are also a lot of things that a Vietnamese bride doesn’t do. In particular, she doesn’t get financially compensated for her decision to get married, isn’t motivated by the possibility of migration as is, isn’t going to become a fully dependent submissive wife to a man, etc. These are just myths explained mostly by the traditions of the past. 

Why Vietnamese women become mail-order brides

If you browse a random big niche site with Asian and Western members, you’ll see there are a lot of singles from Vietnam. A girl for marriage you can meet there will definitely have her reasons for searching for a husband overseas. We still can distinguish a few main things that make women from this country make such a choice, though. In most cases, they are as follows: 

  • Attraction to foreign men who are often considered “tall, handsome, and manly”. 
  • Strong motivation to start a family soon. 
  • The desire for real equality in a relationship, a willingness to avoid the scenario of a spoiled matriarchy where a woman has to work hard and work even harder as a housekeeper and a mother. 
  • Curiosity, adventurousness, spontaneity, high tolerance to other cultures, customs, and views. 

Vietnamese people are some of the most open-minded and tolerant nations in Asia. Unlike some other societies on this continent, Vietnamese society isn’t homogeneous, and intermarriages are usually not stigmatized. 

What it’s like to be married to a Vietnamese woman

First of all, we’d like to highlight that all Vietnamese brides are unique individuals. Just like all other people on Earth, they are different, so describing a typical Vietnamese wife is quite a difficult task.

Nonetheless, we can still distinguish some common peculiarities and characteristics based on feedback from men who’ve married Vietnamese women as well as Vietnamese women themselves. 

  1. Loyalty will always be the number one priority. Infidelity of any kind is unacceptable. Vietnamese girls are known as some of the most faithful partners, but they always expect the same. Sometimes, jealousy might also be an issue. 
  2. Love is expressed through care. Vietnamese wives know how to take care of themselves, their homes, husbands, and children. They often love cooking and prefer to spoil family members with fresh delish meals not because they are 100% into the traditional lifestyle but because that’s how they express love. They’re caring and protective, and that often makes their marriages work. 
  3. They are strong and resilient. Another common reason why men from other countries come to Vietnam to find a spouse is because they are well aware of the fact that here, they can meet a strong girl who’d go through difficulties, if necessary. Vietnamese women don’t leave their husbands when they experience problems. They know how to survive tough times, and they are ready to do it for their loved ones. 

All in all, living with a Vietnamese girl isn’t just living with someone hot and devoted to your relationship. It’s about getting a companion who’ll always be there for you, and that’s definitely the thing that attracts many men the most.
