locally engaged staff

Normally, members of the staff of a diplomatic mission or consular post who are nationals of or permanently resident in the receiving state. However, this category may also include those employed by a mission who are spouses of members of the diplomatic staff or, for example, spouses of businessmen or women from the sending state who are doing a limited tour of duty in the country concerned. Although, with the consent of the receiving state, its citizens may be employed as diplomatic agents, this is rare. Hence, the vast majority of locally engaged staff are to be found among the ranks of the administrative and technical and the service staff, and among the ranks of any private servants. See also dragoman; honorary consular officer; proxenos; Wicquefort.
