The Passports presented by nationals of either Party must have a validity period of at least six (6) months on the date of entry into the territory of the State of the other Party.

The Parties shall exchange specimens of their valid diplomatic passports through diplomatic channels no later than (30) days before the entry into force of this Agreement.

The notification shall include a sample of the new or modified documents and information on their applicability.

The Nationals of the State of either Party holding a diplomatic passport shall abide by the laws in force in the State of the other Partyʼs territory throughout the duration of their stay.

The relevant diplomatic mission or consular post shall issue a new passport or a temporary travel document to its national and shall inform the authorities of the host State.

Either Party shall reserve the right to deny access to the nationals of the State of the other Party holders of a valid diplomatic passport whom it may consider undesirable, or to shorten or terminate the period of stay for such Nationals.

Nationals of the State of either Party holding diplomatic passport are not permitted to practice any professional or commercial activity nor carry out studies in the other State without obtaining the visa required under the laws applicable in both countries pertaining to those activities.

Any disagreements that may arise out of the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement shall be settled amicably by consultations and negotiations between the Parties through diplomatic channels.
