Anyone here using the APEC business card to come to Bali? I heard you get a 2 month business visa with it on arrival and they have a special line at the airport for APEC business card holders.
It might be a good alternative to the business visa.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat drinking beer all day.
Actually I have just done some more research on this. There are quite a few criteria one must fulfil to be eligible for the card. If your country of citizenship is a member of APEC you can check here
Business Mobility Group - Key Initiatives
what these criteria are.
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/busin...ation-form.pdf Looks just like a credit card. It has business travel card on one side with my photo and passport number and all the countries you can visit for free on the other. If you paste the above website in you will find an application form. It seems far more complicated that when i filled out mine and yep it is for business although I know some users who are just in the business of partying in Bali.
Copied this from another blog site, hope it helps
After reading the application form, it seems very few people would be eligable for this card. Scout, you must be very high up in your company to have one, ie top 3 executives. Paid work in Indo and people looking for work not allowed etc
Not really an option for me or 99% of people on here i think![]()
