PRIVATE MATCHMAKING BY APPLICATION
A serious decision
deserves a serious process
Zafira is a private matchmaking agency, with admission by application, for adults who want a serious relationship with marriage in mind. The process requires verification of both sides, no one is introduced without agreeing to that specific introduction, and the Cartagena gathering is private and accompanied by the Zafira team. It is not a dating app, it does not publish profiles and it promises no romantic outcome.
Your path, in five steps
For gentlemen, always in this order: a free application, the USD 400 evaluation once it has been reviewed, and the program only after approval.
Application · free
About 4 minutes, at no cost. You tell us who you are and what you are looking for. If your application moves forward, we email you instructions to pay the USD 400 evaluation and verification by bank transfer.
The matchmaker contacts you
Once the payment is confirmed, the matchmaker contacts you within 48 business hours to schedule the interview.
Evaluation and verification
Interview, identity check against an official document, marital-status review and a search of the U.S. National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW). It is covered by the USD 400 evaluation fee. It does not reserve a place, it is not credited toward the program, and it is non-refundable, including if you are not approved, except for any cancellation or withdrawal right granted by applicable law.
Approval
Zafira decides whether you enter the program. Paying for the evaluation is not the same as being approved. If you are not approved, we tell you and the process ends there. The USD 400 is non-refundable, including if you are not approved, except for any cancellation or withdrawal right granted by applicable law.
The program · USD 12,999
A single payment, only if you are approved and decide to continue, with a contract before any charge. It includes a personal search, a compatibility review and the verification the process requires of the other side before each introduction, private introductions only when both people agree, the private Cartagena gathering, organized by Zafira, and your matchmaker from approval to that gathering. Not included: flights to and from Cartagena, and personal expenses outside the official program.
If everything moves forward, the full path is USD 13,399 in total paid to Zafira (USD 400 + USD 12,999); flights to Cartagena and personal expenses are not included. Zafira makes no other charge.
Candidates follow a different process, free and voluntary: Zafira never asks them for money and none of them receives money for taking part. Their process is on the Ladies page.
The Cartagena gathering
After verification and approval, and only if you decide to continue with the program, Zafira invites you to a private gathering in Cartagena. There, in-person introductions take place only when both people have agreed to them: no candidate is introduced without accepting that specific introduction, after receiving the result of your verification (identity, marital status and background). Each introduction is prepared with judgment, and the Zafira team accompanies every meeting.
Verification required of both sides. Consent in every case. Accompaniment at every meeting Zafira organizes.
