Required documents for diplomatic appointment.
Diplomatic immunity is a principle of international law by which certain foreign government officials are not subject to the jurisdiction of local courts and other authorities for both their official and, to a large extent, their personal activities. The principle of diplomatic immunity is one of the oldest elements of foreign relations.
The special privileges and immunities accorded foreign diplomatic and consular representatives assigned to other countries reflect rules developed among the nations of the world regarding the manner in which civilized international relations must be conducted. The underlying concept is that foreign representatives can carry out their duties effectively only if they are accorded a certain degree of insulation from the application of standard law enforcement practices of the host country.
Although each host country may have some slightly different procedure by which they extend diplomatic courtesy, an International Diplomat - as a general rule - may expect so many benefits and privileges from the Worldwide Diplomatic Community that they are difficult to list.
A few of them are:
Red Carpet Treatment by international governments.
No Tax Liability on income from outside the host country.
You may display "CC" (Corps Consulaire) plates on your car so that your status is known to the forces of control who may not detain you in any way
Confidential movement and activity - Internationally.
When travelling, you may use the diplomatic channel at airports and will not be subject to time delaying and annoying customs checks
Prestige beyond imagination - both professionally and socially.
Accessibility to Offshore Tax Havens for business and privacy.
Unlimited entry and exit privilege from host country
for worldwide professional or personal travel
You will meet top–ranking government officials and heads of state
Diplomatic Immunity - under International Law, the office and residence of diplomats are extended sovereign status, as such they are off limits to all governments and their agents - even in the host country.
You will boost your business success as well as your social status and prestige
Free Diplomatic vehicle -icense plates (CC or CD).
No travel or airport departure tax.
Free upgrades on airlines, car rental, hotels and cruises.
Priority booking on reservations and more.
The allure of joining an unique clique of special people, who can do things that ordinary people cannot, is attractive. One can travel through diplomatic channels, often without visas, one can instantly arrange a table at the busiest restaurants, and one can obtain special service and discounts in a wide range of exclusive stories.
Volvo and some other brands are giving super big discounts for diplomatic persons. The donations involved with diplomatic appointments are sometimes smaller than the yearly-long discounts you can get. With your diplomatic passport you can of course set up a nice trade in cars with big profits.
For more information on diplomatic immunity please examine Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and Optional Protocols (done at Vienna, on 18 April 1961) and Vienna Convention on Consular Relations and Optional Protocols (done at Vienna, on 24 April 1963).
