Head of state or not, diplomatic immunity is not automatic and must be officially granted by the host state before the visit. This applies to foreign diplomats as well - the government of the country which these diplomats represent asks for them to be recognised as diplomats and the receiving country can either acknowledge this and grant them a diplomatic status or refuse to do so and in that case they won't have immunity.
