APEC Business Travel Card Scheme

The APEC Business Travel Card Scheme is an APEC initiative.

The Scheme was developed in response to the need of business people to gain streamlined business visitor entry to the economies of the Asia-Pacific region to:

* explore business opportunities
* attend meetings
* conduct trade and investment activities.





The APEC Business Travel Card cuts through the red tape of business travel. Through a single application form, the card allows accredited business people to obtain multiple short-term business visitor entry to participating economies.

This saves cardholders time and effort involved in applying for individual visas or entry permits.
Period of stay

Cardholders can stay at least two months on each visit, with some participating economies providing three months stay on each visit. The APEC Business Mobility Group website provides a summary about the period of stay allowed in each participating economy.
