Does anybody know how/where these can be renewed?
Renewing your APEC Business Travel Card
If your old APEC Business Travel Card expires (or has only six months validity remaining) and you would like to apply for another APEC Business Travel Card, you must lodge a new application.
The process for renewing your APEC Business Travel Card is exactly the same as making an initial application. Australia is required to seek pre clearance with each economy each time a new application is lodged. The validity of each new card remains at three years.

Note that the application criteria appears to have been tightened recently:

But, I hear that the good people at the BMG are a tad hard to impress - so I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
don't think that they're going to be too keen to re-issue to lawyers going fwd...
I wouldn't bet on that - my team mates in Taiwan and China face similar issues to the new qualification requirements - for example, in Taiwan you need to be a C level exec to get an APEC BT Card for instance.I suspect these new requirements will have to be relaxed at some stage, as surely there are not many people who are going to qualify.
** (I just checked, and Australians have nearly 40% of all issued cards)
Any further updates on how people are going with the new regulations?
Mine's due for renewal later this year, and I'm interested to hear what the acceptance / rejection rate is like.
