Do I still need a visa and passport for entry into APEC economies?

ABTC holders traveling to fully participating APEC economies do not need to apply for a separate visa if they have preclearance, which is granted at the discretion of each economy. However, each APEC economy retains the right to determine entry requirements, even after ABTC issuance. The ABTC is not a replacement for a passport, and holders must present both their passport and ABTC upon arrival and departure. For transitional APEC economies, ABTC holders must present necessary travel documents, such as a passport, visa, or travel authorization. Travelers should verify the entry requirements of their destination economy before traveling.

What are the benefits of holding an APEC Business Travel Card?

The ABTC provides frequent business travelers with fast-track entry and exit through special APEC lanes at participating airports, as well as multiple short-term entries to precleared APEC economies without needing a separate visa application for fully participating members.

Which countries can I access with my APEC Card?

With an APEC Business Travel Card (ABTC), you can access 19 APEC economies, including Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Chile, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Peru, the Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Chinese Taipei, Thailand, and Vietnam. While the ABTC allows visa-free or streamlined entry for business visits, entry requirements may vary by economy. Always verify the specific entry rules for each country before traveling.

Is it true that one of the requirements for applying for an APEC Card is having made 3 visits to APEC member countries in the last 6 months?

Yes, that’s correct. One of the main requirements for applying for an APEC Card is that the applicant must have made at least 3 business visits to APEC member countries within the last 6 months.

How can I prove the 3 visits to APEC member countries?

Proof of visits can be shown through passport stamps with different arrival dates, or if applicable, a confirmation letter from a business partner in the APEC member country visited. Both options provide valid evidence for your application.

If I create new application for others, can I help uploading required documents?

Yes, you can check application of others from your account and help them uploading the required documents.
