The Italy Embassy in Kazakhstan is an official diplomatic mission of Italy, located in Nur Sultan. It provides visa information, Italy passport services, consular assistance and support for Italy citizens living in Kazakhstan and travelers heading to Italy.
The Embassy of Italy in Nur-Sultan represents the government of Italy in Kazakhstan and manages the bilateral relationship between the two countries, covering diplomacy, trade and cultural exchange.
