We didn’t expect it, but the world around us suddenly and substantially changed, and these alterations may be long lasting. What does it mean for you and your search for a partner internationally?

How the international dating scene changed

I am in close and daily contact with women from Ukraine and Russia via my Instagram account, which has over 8 thousand followers.

I also conduct live broadcasts via Instagram and view other bloggers talking to their audiences.

Besides, we have recently launched Russian wives club together with several ladies who met their partners on Elenasmodels.com and are now married. They live in the USA, Australia, UK. There are 9 speakers, including myself, and in just a couple of months we acquired nearly 2,000 followers. It is a very active community of women who are seriously interested in finding a partner for life.

This is why I can say confidently that the events of the last months made the interest of women from Ukraine and Russia in the idea of finding a partner in a foreign country only more acute. The ladies who were toying with the idea made the decision to get in, hoping to make their dreams come true.

Many women from Ukraine, Russia don’t really believe they can find a partner

They feel, “It’s too good to be true” and struggle to believe that somewhere in more stable countries men would like to get married to someone from a foreign country.

In Russia and Ukraine it’s very easy for a man to find a marriage-minded woman with traditional values, if he wants to have a family of his own. The demographics of 86 males for 100 females make it very easy to achieve. In fact, you can say that women compete for eligible bachelors.

The calibre of women who are looking for partners on Elenasmodels.com is impressive. (You can view my interview with 2 of our happy wives here.)

Women like this are rare even in Russia and Ukraine, but on Elenasmodels.com there are many ladies who are smart, educated, beautiful, and family oriented. We have the best reputation in the industry for the quality of our database.

Besides, we are the only international dating site with manual checks of every profile and without payment for communication.

You know what does it mean, if the website charges for each message or minute of chat: An open licence for PPL scams when the communication is conducted just to earn per minute or per message.

On Elenasmodels.com, all communication is free and we encourage our users to move to WhatsApp (the most popular messenger among international couples) or any other means of communication they are comfortable with. You don’t need to communicate on the website only; you can meet there and chat anywhere you want.

We see our duty in creating a safe space for good people to meet.

When will international couples be able to meet?

European authorities talk about opening up their borders by July 2020, in order to enable the summer tourist season to run at least in half.

There are will be certain requirements for international travellers, to ensure safety and health. But the world will be opening up.

The visa specialists whom I keep in touch with over Instagram as well say that visas as processed as usual. There are restrictions on travel, but not on visa processing, with the exception of the USA that temporarily closed immigration.

All in all, I believe that if anything, good quality immigrants will be more welcome after the situation is stable. Especially for family reunion or partners, governments may want to boost the birth rates, which could drop, as some experts predict.

If you were considering the idea of finding a partner internationally, it can be easier to do now than during the last years. Women are determined to make the change, seeing it as an opportunity that can be taken away from them at any time.

In Australia, some couples were able to skip a few steps in the process due to the unexpected restrictions. For instance, if a lady was on a visitor visa with the condition “no further stay”, it was possible to lift it and apply for a partner visa with an immediate granting of a bridging visa.

In other words, if a lady was visiting and her entry permit was granted on the condition she was unable to stay longer, the situation of emergency allowed the couple to apply for a change of circumstances and wait for a partner visa together in Australia.

Similar situation happened with other couples where a woman was visiting her boyfriend in Europe: They were able to get expedient processing on partner visas.

So, you can see, it’s not all doom and gloom. Couples who are in relationships, while some of them had to postpone meetings, now can look at their connections in a more matter-of-fact fashion and decide if this is indeed the person who could become a potential life partner. In other words, people started to take it more seriously and deeply.

We do expect that more women will register on Elenasmodels.com in coming months as the situation with economic downturn becomes more acute in Russia and Ukraine.

Our increased viewership on Instagram, which keeps gaining popularity among females in Russia and Ukraine, as well as “word of mouth” recommendations promote a continuous influx of high-quality applicants to Elenasmodels.com.

In the times of existential crisis like we experience now, people realize the true values of having love and family. Men and women alike feel stronger about their wish to find a partner to share life’s joys and sorrows, and stick together through thick and thin.
