Article 71 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations

Nationals or permanent residents of the receiving State

1.Except insofar as additional facilities, privileges and immunities may be granted by the receiving State, consular officers who are nationals of or permanently resident in the receiving State shall enjoy only immunity from jurisdiction and personal inviolability in respect of official acts
performed in the exercise of their functions, and the privileges provided in paragraph 3 of article 44. So
far as these consular officers are concerned, the receiving State shall likewise be bound by the obligation
laid down in article 42. If criminal proceedings are instituted against such a consular officer, the proceedings shall, except when he is under arrest or detention, be conducted in a manner which will hamper the exercise of consular functions as little as possible.

2.Other members of the consular post who are nationals of or permanently resident in the receiving State and members of their families, as well as members of the families of consular officers referred to in paragraph 1 of this article, shall enjoy facilities, privileges and immunities only insofar as these are granted to them by the receiving State. Those members of the families of members of the
consular post and those members of the private staff who are themselves nationals of or permanentlybresident in the receiving State shall likewise enjoy facilities, privileges and immunities only insofar as these are granted to them by the receiving State. The receiving State shall, however, exercise its
jurisdiction over those persons in such a way as not to hinder unduly the performance of the functions of
the consular post.
