The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Business Travel Card (ABTC) is a travel document that facilitates business travel for frequent travelers within the APEC region. It allows for expedited entry and exit at participating APEC economies, eliminating the need for multiple visas. The ABTC is a valuable tool for business professionals who regularly travel to multiple APEC economies.
To apply for an ABTC, you must be a citizen or permanent resident of an APEC economy and meet certain eligibility requirements. Each APEC economy has its own application process and requirements, so it is important to contact the relevant authorities in your economy to obtain specific instructions. Generally, the application process involves submitting a completed application form, along with supporting documents such as a passport, proof of business travel, and a letter of recommendation. The application fee and processing time can vary depending on the economy.
