embassy staff
Consulate's working team
Embassy staff are the personnel who work at an embassy—diplomats, administrators, security officers, translators, and support workers who handle a country's official business in a foreign nation.
The term often appears in news coverage of international incidents: Embassy staff were evacuated after the protests turned violent.
Some embassy staff have diplomatic immunity; others are locally hired without such protections.
