Diplomatic mission

A diplomatic mission is a group of people from one nation state present in another nation state to represent the sending state in the receiving state. In practice, a diplomatic mission usually denotes the permanent mission, namely the office of a country's diplomatic representatives in the capital city of another country. Under international law, diplomatic missions enjoy an extraterritorial status and thus, although remaining part of the host country's territory, they are exempt from local law and in almost all respects treated as being part of the territory of the home country.They are also only required to pay taxes equal to their respective countries guidelines.
