Our top-rated Asian mail order bride & dating sites—2024

Asian brides — who are these women?

• Asian ladies for marriage are straightforward and don’t play games. Well, the thing is, when we say “they,” we actually mean more than 2,300,000,000 women, and when it comes to numbers like this one, well, it’s a very, very high level of generalization; you need to understand it. But still, typically, oriental women are known for their direct approach (if we’re not talking about some Japanese girls, of course).
• Asian mail order brides are often more shy, calm, and patient than American ladies—especially when we’re talking about the ladies from Southeast Asia.
• Most Asian mail order brides are from China. According to our data, around 31% of all the Asian brides you can find on the best dating sites are Chinese women (2.6% are from Vietnam, 1.7% are from Thailand, and 1.2% are from the Philippines).
• The average age of a mail order bride on an Asian dating site is around 30 years old (28.4 for Filipinas, 35.2 for Chinese brides).
• Most Asian mail order brides have an advanced level of English (or higher). 
• The most popular occupations for Asian brides are teacher, doctor, nurse, and business owner.
• If you want 2 or more children, Asian brides are what you need—in most Southeast Asian countries, the TFR (total fertility rate) is higher than 2 (1.84 in the US) [1].

Where do most Asian mail order brides come from?

So, Asian brides come from a lot of countries, it’s not only about China (China isn’t even the #1 country in this regard). Let’s talk about the top 5 countries where one can meet Asian women. Here’s the list:

• Japan
• China
• Thailand
• South Korea
• Philippines

#1. Japan

Japan is probably the first country that comes to mind when one thinks of Asian brides. They are often considered to be perfect wives for a Western man, and there are at least 4 reasons for that:

• They are very soft. However, as they say, this silk is wrapped around steel—Japanese ladies can be powerful, serious, and even controlling when it’s needed.
• They are very beautiful—from their facial features and makeup to their sense of style. And it’s also about their healthy lifestyle, of course: in Japan, only 3.2% of women are considered obese (it’s 27.5% in the US, for comparison’s sake) [2][3].
• Asian brides from Japan are very family-centered, and there’s even a tradition of women being housewives after marriage in this country. But we can’t say that it happens in 100% of cases, of course—a lot of Japanese women are well-educated, very hard-working, and ambitious regarding their work.
• A romantic relationship with a Japanese woman may progress much slower than a relationship with a woman from your city. They prefer a slower pace when it comes to dating, but this doesn’t apply to the online dating part—when you’re still online partners, they exchange hundreds of messages per day.

#2. China

It’s surprising, but Chinese girls are not the most popular Asian brides to marry. Even with Hong Kong and Taiwan, there were only 468 new K-1 visa holders in 2023 [4], and while it’s more than, let’s say, Ukraine or Poland, it’s still not that many compared to other Asian countries.

Still, Chinese women are just great for a serious relationship because they are sweet, humble, smart, and cute. What else do you need to know about them?

• Chinese women are among the most loyal partners in the world. Thus, only 26% of Chinese respondents to a survey admitted to cheating (in the US, it’s 71%) [5].
• The average age of a Chinese mail order bride (a woman using a MOB site) is around 35 years old, which is the highest age among all the other countries. Most Chinese mail brides have never been married, which is quite stressful in a country where the government calls single women over the age of 27 “sheng nu”, “leftover women” [6].
• This is probably the main reason why Asian women from this country want to get married to foreigners: they just can’t find a decent Chinese man who would treat them well because of the state propaganda!

#3. Thailand

Thai brides are very popular among American men, too. If you are interested in Asian women because of their modest, calm, and shy personalities, a Thai bride is exactly what you need.

• According to our data, most Thai women on mail order bride sites work as models, teachers, and clerks. Most of them speak English pretty well (at least at an intermediate level), have a college degree, and have no children.
• Thailand has a very high infidelity rate. [7]
• The point is, it’s not Thai women who cheat; it’s all about Thai men. They don’t just cheat, they even have a name for it! It’s called a “mia noi,” a “mistress,” or a “second wife,” and it’s basically not considered a bad thing in their culture.
• The fact we just mentioned is important for a better understanding their motivation. Most Thai brides search for a foreign man because they want to find a loyal partner who is searching for a serious, exclusive relationship. That’s something they can’t find in their country.

#4. South Korea

It’s impossible not to mention Korea when talking about Asian women. Even though it’s not the most popular “Asian bride” country, women from Korea are definitely worth it. 

It’s not just their appearance (which is just gorgeous, let’s be clear), it’s also their character traits that make them so desirable. Korean girls are loyal and respectful, they prefer to have a relationship based on a deep, meaningful connection, they are very family-centered, and they are very Westernized in terms of culture, so there won’t be any cultural shock after moving to your country.

• The total fertility rate in this country is some of the lowest in the world (1.1 children per 1 woman), and it’s declining. But it’s not about not having the desire to have children, actually—it’s more about the financial cost of raising children and other external factors. [8]
• Korean women get married later than other Asian women—the median age at first marriage for them is 31 years old. It’s interesting that according to our data, the average age of Korean mail order brides on MOB platforms is higher—it’s 36.5 years old.
• So, the pattern is clear: in Korea, a mail order bride is a well-educated woman with a stable job and no children. It makes sense that with such a background, the main goal of Korean mail order brides would be to build a successful family and have kids.

#5. Philippines

The Philippines is often called the best country to find an Asian wife. Why?

Well, it’s about numbers. In 2023, 2,700 K-1 visas (fiance(e) visas) were issued to Filipinos. This type of visa is very popular among mail order brides. Such a number is higher than the number of K-1 visas issued to all the European countries combined [9]! Filipinas are the most popular Asian brides in the US, and all the competitors are far behind.

• Filipino women are very family-centered (family has a special role in their culture) and very loyal. 90% of Filipinos say that cheating is unacceptable to them, and it’s one of the highest results in the world. It’s the only non-Muslim country that made it to the top-10 list of the countries least accepting of infidelity [10]!
• Those who marry an Asian woman suffer from the language barrier, which can even lead to serious problems in a relationship. With the Filipinas, it’s not the case—this country has the highest English proficiency among all the other countries on this list [11].
• Filipinas are incredibly kind, warm, and very friendly. That’s why dating them is not stressful at all—you will not have any problems with breaking the ice.

How to get an Asian mail order bride?

So, let’s make it clear: you can’t “buy a mail order Asian bride”, obviously, and there’s no such thing as “Asian brides for sale”. The process of getting a mail order Asian bride consists of several steps:

• Choosing the country
• Finding an Asian bride website and chatting
• Meeting in person and proposing
• Bringing an Asian woman to the US

Let’s be more detailed.

Choosing a country

First, you have to choose a country. The final choice depends on your relationship goals and preferences: as you already know, the girls from Japan and the Philippines are different and have different values, and this can be applied to any other Asian country. Do you want a trad wife, shy and calm? Or do you want your wife to be ambitious and hard-working? Do you want her to be focused on having 2, 3, or more children? Or maybe you don’t want children and want your bride to share that view? In all these cases, you need a different country, so answering these questions is very important in order to understand your next steps.

Finding a dating website and chatting

Finding a good website with mail order Asian brides is not that easy. Well, not for you—you can just sign up on SakuraDate and start chatting with any Asian woman right after registration. But if you want to do your own research, you’ll have to do a lot of things, e.g., read the reviews, spot fake reviews (there are many of them), test the sites and the quality of profiles, etc.

If you’re going to do your own research, pay special attention to the quality of profiles. Scammers usually don’t spend too much time creating profiles; they just upload a few photos, and voila, it’s done. If most profiles on a dating site are detailed and have a lot of pictures (like on SakuraDate), it’s a very good sign.

As for chatting, it’s simple: if you have an attractive profile with at least a few photos and a profile description, you’ll get a lot of messages on any Asian dating site. Just be yourself, be confident, show respect, and don’t rush—that’s how dating works in most Asian countries.

Meeting in person and proposing

So, even the top mail order bride sites can’t replace a real-life date. First of all, because of the chemistry, and sparks, and so on. Second, because of USCIS (if you want your bride to get a K-1 visa, you must meet her in person at least once).

A trip to Japan or Korea will probably be quite expensive. A trip to Thailand or the Philippines will cost you less, but anyway, be prepared to spend at least $1,200 for a 1-week trip (the tickets are quite costly).

As for the dates, it’s simple: be smart and confident, treat her with respect, do NOT bring up any stereotypes (it’s a red flag for them), respect her culture and traditions, and be honest. 

When you propose to her, and she says yes, it’s time to apply for a visa.

Bringing her to the US

Thousands of Asian wives enter the US every year legally so you have nothing to worry about here. As long as your documents are ok, you have evidence (photos, tickets, printed logs), and your relationship is real, getting a visa should not be a problem for you and your bride.

As for the visa, it’s typically a K-1 (fiance(e) visa mail order brides use to enter the US. This visa allows a holder to enter the country and get married within 90 days, and after that, your Asian wife will be able to get her marriage-based green card. 3 years later, she’ll be able to become a US citizen.

The most important thing here (as long as your relationship is real and bona fide) is to do everything right. Collecting all the documents and filing all those forms—all these things might look very difficult at first sight, and if you don’t feel confident, we highly recommend contacting a lawyer. Or at least check some visa forums like VisaJourney; hundreds of users can help you for free (this is not an advertisement, of course).

Now, let’s talk about the cost of getting an Asian woman to the US. How much does it cost to date a bride from Asia online and offline?

How much does it cost to mail order an Asian Bride?

It’s a very rough estimate, and your final cost will depend on dozens of factors. From the time you book a flight and the season to the type of gift you’re going to present, all these small details can either help you save up to 50% or spend much more. So it’s up to you, after all.

Here’s a cost breakdown: we included the cost of online dating, the cost of a 1-week trip, the cost of the dates&gifts, and, of course, the cost of a K-1 visa (with a green card) for each of these 5 countries.

The process might be long, but taking the first step is fast and easy. Do it!

Getting a mail order Asian wife is certainly a great idea, with no doubts. Asian women are fantastic; they are not only beautiful and loyal but also incredibly interesting to talk to. They make great wives and mothers, and they have that femininity and traditional values lots of today’s American women lack, unfortunately.

And you can meet a real Asian woman, too. Just sign up on SakuraDate and in 2 minutes, you’ll be able to chat with Asian girls who would love to meet a foreign man like you!

Two friends of mine wanted to find a husband abroad. They were scammed, lost money, and never got back to that idea. That’s just not right; the situation with these sites needs to change. I believe that we can change that together, and I’m sure that we can help more people find love abroad, exactly like I did!
