In general, nationals of a country who work abroad in the diplomatic or consular services
of their country are exempt from social security coverage and taxes under the laws
of the host country, under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and the Vienna
Convention on Consular Relations, unless that exemption is waived. The Conventions,
to which both the United States and the Czech Republic are parties, apply to:
-
•
members of the staff of a diplomatic or consular mission, including the diplomatic,
consular, administrative, and technical staffs;
-
•
family members of those staffs who form part of the members’ households;
-
•
the domestic service staffs of those missions; and
-
•
private servants employed by the members of such missions.
