APEC Business Travel Card

The APEC Business Travel Card (ABTC) is a travel document issued to business travelers who are citizens of APEC member economies. Valid for five years, the card eliminates the need for visas when traveling to other APEC member economies, provided the holder has completed the necessary pre-clearance during the application process.

In 2021, the Virtual APEC Business Travel Card (VABTC) was introduced, offering the same benefits via a mobile application. Virtual cards are intended to replace physical cards entirely, although each participating economy will decide their own timeline for doing so. As of 2023, all APEC economies except Russia now accept the VABTC for entry.
