Some men in Singapore are using dating apps to find wives from Vietnam, paying up to $8,888 per match. The service, based in Singapore, targets men who have used dating apps for up to a decade without success. Clients are not limited to older men, as the service caters to a range of ages. The cost of each match includes travel and accommodation expenses for the men to meet potential partners in Vietnam.
The service operates through a network of local and international matchmakers who vet candidates and arrange meetings. While the men are typically looking for long-term relationships, some are seeking marriage. The process involves extensive background checks and cultural compatibility assessments.
This practice reflects a growing trend of cross-border marriages, particularly between Southeast Asian countries. Many Singaporean men are turning to Vietnam due to its lower cost of living and cultural similarities. The service highlights the increasing demand for such arrangements, driven by both economic and social factors. The practice remains legal but raises questions about the motivations and expectations of those involved.
