Role\n\nThe senior diplomatic officers among members of the Commonwealth of Nations are known as High Commissioners, who are the heads of High Commissions. Representatives of the Holy See are known as Papal or Apostolic Nuncios, while the head of a Libyan People's Bureau is a Secretary.\n\nHistorically, officials representing their countries abroad were termed ministers, but this term was also applied to diplomats of the second rank. The Congress of Vienna of 1815 formalized the system of diplomatic rank under international law:\n\nAmbassadors are ministers of the highest rank, with plenipotentiary authority to represent their head of state. An Ordinary Ambassador is one heading a permanent diplomatic mission, for instance the senior professional diplomat in an embassy. An Extraordinary Ambassador could be appointed for special purposes or for an indefinite term; politically appointed ambassadors would fall under this category.\n\nMoreover, a Resident Ambassador is one who resides within the country to which s/he is accredited. A Non-Resident Ambassador is one who does not reside within the country to which s/he is accredited, but lives in a nearby country. Thus a resident ambassador to a country might at the same time also be a non-resident ambassador to several other countries.\n\nAmong European powers, the ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary (French ambassadeur extraordinaire et plénipotentiaire or German ausserordentlicher und bevollmächtigter Botschafter) was deemed the personal representative of the sovereign, and the custom of dispatching ambassadors to the head of state rather than the government has persisted. For example, ambassadors to and from the United Kingdom are accredited to or from the Royal Court of St. James's, rather than to the State.\n\nBecause members of the Commonwealth of Nations have or had a common head of state, they do not exchange ambassadors, but instead have High Commissioners which represent the government rather than the head of state.\n\nRanking below full ambassador are the rank of envoy, minister resident and chargé d'affaires. They represent their government rather than their head of state. For further details, see diplomatic rank.\n\nWhile the title still reflect the Ambassador's natural vocation to head a diplomatic mission, the rank is often held by carreer diplomats, as a matter of internal promotion, regardless of the posting, and in many naional carreers it is quite common for them to be appointed to other functions, especially within the ministry/ministries in charge of foreign affairs, in some countries in systematical alteration with actual postings.

According to Vienna Convention 1961, 1963 etc. there are 3 categories of personal in embassies (and consulates)..\n1. diplomatic agents (they have an immunity from local income tax - they can be obliged to pay income tax at home)\n2. administrative personal (they have the immunity if they expats, if they are local staff they are obliged to pay income tax)\n3. service personal (they are mostly local) in the question of taxation they are in the same status as administrative ones.\n\nbesides that, countries, can give additional immunities (e.g. to local staff) when signing agreement about embassy, or consulate...

I was with the Embassy for 30 years... There are two ways to be Ambassador and nether are good. One is to be someone influencial on the outside and be really IN WITH the president, whoever he is and He will appoint you as Ambassador to wherever. The other way is to be part of the Foreign Service.. a Foreign Service employee.. take the tests, and work yourself up. IF you aspire to be ambassador(I did not), you can work as Consular Officer, you can work as a general Services Officer in a particular mission and if you say the right things(not the truth in most cases), you might be considered as either the Ambassador or the Charge' d'affaires(which is the Deputy Ambassador). I have NEVER seen any U.S. Ambassador that was good. I could write a book on the garbage that has been rerpresenting our country in foreign Embassies.

Depends on the host and represented countries policies.  Italy hands out honorary consul appointments like confetti, while I don't think China or the US have honorary consulates.\n\nIn the case of my country you would need:\n* your own office\n* your own staff\n* contacts within the local government, business community etc.\n* a good reputation\n* knowledge and strong ties of both countries\n* time to contribute as honorary consul\n\nPlus your HC will need to be somewhere far from another mission, in a place where having a HC would be worthwhile

Unless you are a VIP or have an invitation, you will not be entertained at the embassy.\n\nIf you happen to be a VIP, you can usually have your aides contact the embassy and request a meeting.  They may throw you a reception depending on your importance.  Examples would be:\n     1. CEO of a fortuen 500 company in country XXX to close a major deal.\n      2. Member of congress\n      3. High ranking administration official (cabinet member, critical sub cabinet member etc.).\n\nIf you're a regular guy, your only business at the embassy will be for:\n1. Consular affairs (lost passport, help with bail money, etc.).\n2. Invitation to an all American event which typically takes place in countries with small American populations.
