Authentication chain for Certificate of Tax Residency bound for Italy
Italy is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention — therefore Certificate of Tax Residency must pass through: Notary Public → MFA Thailand → Apostille (for Italy).
Once the MFA issues an Apostille, Italy accepts it directly — no further embassy step required, saving 1-2 weeks and embassy fees.
Our team refreshes Italy requirements quarterly to avoid bounce-back on format changes.
