Question

Why is it that embassy are located outside it's particular country>?

Answer 1

Embassies are offices of countries in other places to serve their nationals and represent the countries with the local governments.

Answer 2

hi

A diplomatic mission is a group of people from one state or an international inter-governmental organization (such as the United Nations) present in another state to represent the sending state/organization in the receiving state. In practice, a diplomatic mission usually denotes the permanent mission, namely the office of a country's diplomatic representatives in the capital city of another country.

Answer 3

That's the whole point of them.  They are "links" to a particular country when traveling abroad, mainly for crisis situations.

Answer 4

isn't that the point of an embassy? it's a diplomatic facility that protects people of that embassy's nationality overseas.

Answer 5

an embassy serves a purpose, but cannot be in the same country,since, in the country, problems are resolved within the country and by the gov.

The word embassy comes from the French ambassade, or office of the ambassador. Ambassadors are high-ranking diplomatic representatives who serve as spokespersons for their national governments. If one country recognizes the sovereignty of another, they generally establish an embassy there. Embassies take care of the same administrative duties as consulates, but they also represent their governments abroad.

it deals with problems outside the country, between nations, therefore, you have an Ambassador ahead of the embassy who in turn, will deal with head of other governments,for mediation,communication, and all sort of inter country relations.

In cases of dispute, it is common for a country to recall its head of mission as a sign of its displeasure. This is less drastic than cutting diplomatic relations completely, and the mission will still continue operating more or less normally, but it will now be headed by a chargé d'affaires who may have limited powers. Note that for the period of succession between two heads of missions, a chargé d'affaires ad interim may be appointed as caretaker; this does not imply any hostility to the host country.

A Consulate is similar to (but not the same as) a diplomatic office, but with focus on dealing with individual persons and businesses, as defined by the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. A Consulate or Consulate-General is generally a representative of the Embassy in locales outside of the capital city. For instance, The British Embassy to the United States is in Washington, D.C., and there are British Consulates in Los Angeles, New York City, Houston, and so on.

The term "embassy" is often used to refer to the building or compound housing an ambassador's offices and staff. Technically, "embassy" refers to the diplomatic delegation itself, while the office building in which they work is known as a chancery, but this distinction is rarely used in practice. Ambassadors reside in ambassadorial residences, which enjoy the same rights as missions.
