7.1 Arrival and departure

The same procedures as for diplomatic missions and consular posts apply:

• The Protocol Department should be notified about arrival and departure of staff members.
• Heads of international organisations should promptly notify the Protocol Department of any changes to the staff of the mission.
• When a head of an international organisation leaves Sweden or is unable to perform their functions for a period of time, they normally appoint one of their deputies as acting head of the organisation. Such an appointment should be made known to the Protocol Department in writing, indicating the period in question.
• Staff members will be provided with ID cards and residence permits valid for three years.
