In general, nationals of a country who work abroad in the diplomatic or consular services
of their home country are exempt, under the Vienna Conventions on Diplomatic Relations
and the Vienna Conventions on Consular Relations, from social security coverage and
taxes under the laws of the host country unless that exemption has been specifically
waived. The Conventions, to which both the United States and the Slovak Republic are
parties, apply to the following:
-
•
members of the staff of a diplomatic or consular mission, including the diplomatic,
consular, administrative and technical staffs,
-
•
dependents of members of those staffs,
-
•
the domestic service staffs of those missions, and
-
•
under certain conditions, the private servants employed by members of such missions.
