Does holding a diplomatic passport affect my chances?

[Mayski]

I hold both a regular (Egyptian) passport and a Diplomatic passport. I'm hesitant as to which to use to apply for my Tier 2 visa. Does it make any difference at all, or is one more likely/less likely to get accepted?

For example, is a diplomatic passport more likely to get accepted because of it's prestige, or is it more likely to get rejected because it's connotations to not paying tax? (I've always and will always pay my taxes just worried there may be misconceptions)

I realise this is a very niche question but not sure where else to ask! ANY insight at all would be extremely appreciated.

Thank you.

If you are going to the UK to take up a diplomatic posting you should apply for that visa. If not then I don't think you should be using a diplomatic passport. The passport itself does not grant a person diplomatic status under the Vienna Convention, it is the accreditation of the host country.
