Important information for our male customers

Mobile Phone numbers starting with 088134, 0891, 0481 in Bulgaria are called "Information services" which means the person who own such phone has the interest to keep you maximum time on the phone and charge you for this. It is your choice whether to call there or not.


Avoiding being scammed is, in fact, easy.
The simple rule of thumb is: DO NOT SEND MONEY.
Men who end up being scammed manage to ignore numerous red flags on their way in.
Anyway, here are a few thoughts you might find useful:
• All services on this site, as well as any other reputable dating service, ARE FREE FOR WOMEN. Internet access in Bulgaria is more or less affordable these days to anyone. Quite a few people have computers at home, even more at work.
• Be realistic. Unless you are a rich movie/pop/sports star, it is rather unlikely that a model looking girl will fall deeply in love with you right after your first letter.
This is NOT serious relationship you are looking for


***Regarding sending money to women in Bulgaria we advise our members
to consult with our team before taking any action in this matter.
We do not take responsibility if you send money to a woman who later
didnt respond with the correct attitude.
Also if you find a lady that shows an abnormal attitude, a lady who is
fake, who asks for a big amount of money or something else that is
against the terms and conditions of Velida agency please inform us!
Do not hesitate to contact us for everything you need to know and do.
We welcome your suggestions regarding our work and our website, share
your thoughts and lets together make Velida Agency work better and
better so there can be more successful stories!

What you should know for the Bulgarian women?

Dear Gentlemen,

On East European dating sites, you will find thousands of women that are beautiful, intelligent, educated, fit, stylish and sexy – and, amazingly enough, at the same time unattached and available. You are most welcomed to register and create your photo dating profile, it is all free of cost. Then you can send short notes to the ladies you like and find out who is interested in getting to know you, also free of cost. You will also get free access to the full database of thousands of profiles of Beautiful Bulgarian women as only a portion of them is included in our gallery - with free membership you can discover many more drop dead beautiful ladies looking for a man just like you.

Most of the ladies on this website are originally from Bulgaria. One point worth marking is that at Velida.net you will find many bulgarian women of East European origin living in the West - mostly London, UK, USA, Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland. That makes it much easier to meet them in person. All our services are totally free for ladies, while men can optionally upgrade to premium membership, but only if they wish to meet the ladies in person or exchange contact details. The cost of premium membership is far lower than most other Russian marriage agencies or so called "mail order brides" matchmakers.

Will I really find a much younger wife/girlfriend on the East European dating websites?
If you are looking for a younger woman try and keep the age difference between you to no more than 13 years for Bulgarian ladies and 16 years for Russian ladies. The reason for the slight difference is the imbalance in the population in Russia; due to sheer lack of men it is simply harder to find a husband for Russian ladies. In some cases in Russia one can find a woman much younger but remember, the greater your age difference, the less the chances of your marriage surviving and more chances of getting married to someone who has no feelings for you, but plenty of financial plans...

You will be able to find subservient women in some other countries such as Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Korea, Laos etc. Beautiful young Asian girls will absolutely readily marry men much older than themselves! Just keep in mind that their motivation for this may not be as pure as you think and you may find yourself wifeless once she has got citizenship/money through marrying you. If you register at a Russian dating service and find out that lots of much younger women are contacting you eagerly you will know for sure you have landed at a scam website.

Russian woman vs Bulgarian woman, which is the right one for you?
Before eagerly grabbing a bride for yourself please pay attention to these indicators of the cultural differences between Bulgarian and Russian women.

Bulgarian ladies have free access to Europe without a visa and can on the one hand easily find employment outsideBulgaria and on the other visit you with out fiancée visa complications if you intend to take your relationship to the next level. Some Russian ladies will be more inclined to seek a foreign husband for the simple reason of being less financially secure. This does not mean that you can just walk into a Russian marriage - the Russian women are choosy when it comes to men. The terms "Russian mail order brides" and "Russian mail order wives", widely used by Americans, can be quite misleading as it almost creates the impression that the ladies would agree to marry just about anybody, which is very far from the truth.

Both Bulgarian and Russian ladies are amazingly beautiful women but you will find that a greater percentage of Russian girls will have professional or better quality photos. Bulgarian women are less likely to have professional photos; they are more likely to take a few quick snapshots with their web cam. Many profiles of single Bulgarian girls will have low quality pictures and the girls will be much better looking in real life. If you are looking for a Russian wife, a Russian lady to marry, or a so called "mail order bride" then you will find that all the Russian women are on this site for that purpose only. Bulgarian girls usually have computers at home and will reply your messages faster and tend to invite you to video chat on Skype, while the Russian females will take longer to answer and are interested in a more formal correspondence by letters.

Most Bulgarian women on Velida.net do look for a husband, but probably 30% seek just chat online and pen pals of their own age from another country and are less likely to be willing to leave their country and settle abroad. A much larger percentage of Bulgarian women are financially independent compared to their Russian counterparts and are not driven by financially desperate conditions to search for a husband abroad.

When you start thinking about meeting your chosen lady face to face there are several distinct differences between Bulgaria and Russia. To visit your Bulgarian bride you will not need a visa (exceptions are South Africa and a few other countries). Singles entertainment in Bulgaria is very affordable with lots of good cheap restaurants. Your money will go a lot further than in Western European countries or Moscow (believed to be the most expensive city on the planet by many...). Bulgaria is very safe with no violent crime. Russia on the other hand is very expensive and not very safe. The Russian Mafia runs the cities and bribery and corruption are widespread. Airline tickets are also more expensive because of the greater distance to travel.

Once you have met your Bulgarian or perhaps Russian future bride and decide that you cannot live without each other you may consider taking her home with you. For the Bulgarian ladies this is much easier as they can move unrestricted around Europe and more and more visit visas for the USA are being granted to Bulgarians. It is far more difficult to get a Russian lady out of Russia as the IMBRA law makes it very difficult and potentially a lot more expensive to get a fiancée visa and a simple visit visa is out of the question.

Another consideration with eastern European women seen as potential future wives is that younger, city ladies are less likely to have the traditional family values that many western men seek in their future East European bride. If you are particularly after a lady with these values we recommend that you consider the Bulgarian brides and Russian brides above the age of 30 and also from outside the big cities.

Don't expect to find a lady to work as a domestic slave in any country, Bulgaria, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, etc . Besides the western influence the ladies of those regions have the tradition of a good education and are not prone to becoming domestic servants.

When meeting face to face you will quite likely need a translator for your Russian lady yet hardly ever with a Bulgarian lady. The reason for this is Bulgaria being a part of the European Union; most of the ladies have travelled abroad and mingled more with western Culture.

Bear in mind the following if you intend marrying one of these women having a family. You will find that Bulgarian women are not generally eagerly waiting to get married very quickly. There are no pressing external factors that would cause this and usually they are patient and sincere. On the other hand the Russian woman of your dreams will marry you far more readily as this may well be the only way for you to be together because of the visa constraints. She will obviously also feel more secure about living with you should you be willing to make this commitment.

We hope that this article by Velida.net, the best dating and marriage agency in Bulgaria, has been of some assistance and that you find your Bulgarian dream lady.
