Narongsak Putthapornmongkol, president of the Thai-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, recently led a delegation to Shantou and Chaozhou in Guangdong. When he left Bangkok, he used his APEC Business Travel Card to clear immigration through a dedicated lane, completing the formalities in less than ten minutes. Valid for five years, the card allows him to travel efficiently among APEC economies that have granted him pre-clearance.
