□□ Unlock Business Travel in APEC

For frequent business travelers within the APEC region, multiple visa applications and long immigration queues are significant hurdles. The APEC Business Travel Card (ABTC) is the solution for convenient, fast, and highly efficient travel. However, the application process can be complex and detailed.

NYC Visa & Translation Services (Phuket Branch & Nationwide Service) is your essential partner. With expertise in managing ABTC applications for Thai business people, we reduce complexity, increase approval chances, and let you focus fully on your business.

□□ What is the ABTC?

The APEC Business Travel Card (ABTC) facilitates travel for eligible business people who are citizens of participating APEC economies (including Thailand). It allows cardholders to enter participating APEC economies (see list of economies) without needing a separate visa application (visa-free entry or visa-on-arrival facilitation) and provides access to dedicated APEC lanes at immigration checkpoints.

The card is typically valid for up to 5 years (or passport validity), saving significant time and expense for business travel.

□□ Powerful Benefits of the ABTC

• Streamlined Visa-Free Equivalent Travel: Easier entry to participating APEC economies (check specific conditions for each destination).
• APEC Lane Access: Fast-track immigration clearance upon arrival and departure at major airports.
• Time and Cost Savings: Reduces repetitive visa application processes and fees.
• Enhanced Credibility: Signals status as an approved business traveler.
• Long Validity: Up to 5 years for continuous travel convenience.

□□ Eligibility Criteria (For Thai Citizens)

General consideration criteria (set by Thai government authorities and APEC):

• Must be a Thai citizen by birth.
• Must be a bona fide business person frequently traveling for business purposes within the APEC region.
• Generally requires holding a management position or higher, being a business owner, or directly involved in international trade.
