obis/m certificate

The INPS (National Institute of Social Security) has introduced, alongside the CUD certificate, the new OBIS/M certificates, which are the official pension certificates. These documents provide a detailed explanation of all the items that make up an individual’s pension amount. This initiative aims to provide pensioners with a clear understanding of how their pension amount is calculated. OBIS/M certificates typically include:Personal data of the pensioner: Information such as the name, surname, tax code, INPS registration number, and other identifying information. Pension amount: The monthly amount the pensioner receives as pension. Deductions and withholdings: Any deductions or withholding taxes applied to the pension amount, such as taxes. Reference period: The period to which the certificate refers, usually specified in terms of months or years. Payment method: Information on the pension payment method, which can be a bank transfer, a check, or other.

To request the OBIS/M Certificate from the INPS

In the landscape of innovations introduced by the INPS, the OBIS/M Certificate has emerged as a versatile tool, capable of simplifying the lives of Italian pensioners. This document not only provides a clear overview of the pension amount but can also be useful in two specific situations: as a substitute for the CUD for tax declaration and for the annual visa application in Thailand.

Income Tax Declaration in Italy

The retirees receiving a pension from INPS must declare their income to fulfill tax obligations. In this context, the OBIS/M Certificate offers an alternative to the traditional CUD (Single Income Certification) form. This means that instead of waiting for the CUD, retirees can obtain the OBIS/M Certificate from INPS and use it to declare their income to Italian tax authorities. This significantly simplifies the income declaration process, allowing retirees to efficiently provide the required information, including details on pension contributions and any deductions, thus reducing bureaucracy and the time needed to fulfill tax obligations.

Annual Visa Application in Thailand

Another situation where the OBIS/M Certificate can be extremely useful is when applying for the annual visa to stay in Thailand. Thai authorities require foreign retirees to demonstrate sufficient and regular income to live in the country. The OBIS/M Certificate, with its detailed information on pension amount, pension contributions, and other deductions, can be presented as reliable proof of the Italian retiree’s income. This significantly simplifies the process of applying for the annual visa in Thailand, eliminating the need for additional documents or complex procedures.

In both cases, the OBIS/M Certificate proves to be a valuable tool for Italian retirees. To obtain the OBIS/M Certificate, retirees can directly approach INPS or request it through their patronato as an alternative to the CUD, providing them with a document that simplifies their life in various circumstances.
