Nervous_Dog Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Just read on another board about the APEC card, it seems pretty good. Many people here use it? I am going to get one for local travel, seems to be a good idea for trips to Indoo, Thailand if your not here already and other places. www.apec.org/apec/business_resources/apec_business_travel0.html Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Sounds really good but not available for US citizens even though US is part of APEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumsoda Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Was alerted to it a couple of months ago. Think it costs about $150 Aud and takes approx 3 months to have processed. Covers 12 Countries I think Looks like a good Investment, especially given the waiting time in various Immigration areas lately. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 It is actually called the APEC Business Travel Card. A few of the guys at my company who are on the road alot have them.Very useful for frequent travellers around SE Asia. I dont think you'd get one as an individual wanting easier immigration, no matter how much you travel.The card is for business travellers.It is most definately not for "Regional Sanukers". A few snippets from the immigration site of one of the participating countries : The APEC Business Travel Card provides accredited business people with streamlined access to participating APEC countries. Cardholders enjoy: * express immigration clearance through special APEC lanes on arrival and departure * no requirement to apply for visas or entry permits * multiple entry to participating countries for a stay of up to 90 days on each visit. The APEC Business Travel Card is available to business people engaged in trade and investment activities, who: * are nationals of participating countries * travel frequently to conduct trade and investment activities in participating APEC countries; * have a clear criminal record.

Guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 MaiSabai said:fuck you guys its only for oz & kiwi apparently & don't even get access to cambodia? completely untrue. refer to THIS LINK for information on nationalities that are eligibile. you might be getting confised by the fact that you can only get the Aussie and Kiwi application forms online. But if you read ALL of the previous link you'll see a list of participating countries and the contact information for nationals of those countries wishing to get the card.

asiafun Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Sucks that americanos dont get to participate by I imagine the Draconian immigration issues the USA imposes has something to do with it. I could really use a card like that! Maybe I should get dual-citizenship somehow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
