Support for Detained Expats Anywhere in Vietnam
SJP provides discreet, compassionate, and highly experienced support for expatriates detained or imprisoned in Vietnam. We act as the direct point of contact between the detainee, their family, the prison, and (when required) embassy or consular teams.
Our role is to ensure the detainee’s welfare, safety, access to medical care, communication with loved ones, and to make sure their rights are respected within the Vietnamese system.
With over 25 years of experience in Vietnamese legal procedures, police processes, and correctional environments, we offer a calm, structured, and highly professional service during the most stressful time a family can face.
What We Do
Welfare & Welfare Checks
Regular in-person visits to check physical and mental wellbeing, living conditions, treatment, safety, and general welfare.
Family Liaison
We act as the bridge between detainee and family, ensuring updates, communication, and support are consistent and accurate.
Medical Monitoring
We ensure the detainee receives appropriate medical evaluation and required care, including medication coordination.
Video Calls & Communication
We arrange and supervise authorised video calls, phone calls, or written communication between family and detainee.
Legal & Embassy Coordination
We liaise with embassies, consulates, lawyers, and authorities to ensure the detainee’s rights are respected.
Support for Female Prisoners
Special protocols for female detainees, including safety oversight, hygiene support, and direct contact with female officers when possible.
Financial & Practical Support
Management of inmate accounts, delivery of approved items, and monitoring of financial welfare.
Release & Post-Detention Support
Transport, accommodation, legal guidance, immigration support, and reintegration assistance upon release or deportation.
Accommodation Assistance
We arrange emergency short-term housing for detainees released unexpectedly or with no local support.
