An interim card allows you to select which economies you wish to assess your ABTC pre-clearance application as a priority. Your interim card will be issued once all of your 'priority' economies have assessed your pre-clearance and it will be valid for travel to those economies. Your final card will be automatically issued, as normal, once all economies have completed processing.Please note the five year validity of your ABTC begins from the date your first card is issued, whether this is an interim card or your final ABTC.If you would like an interim card, you can request one by contacting your local processing office. For further information, including contact details and local economy website links, please visit the ABTC website page at www.apec.org.
