APEC Business Travel Card

I have recently had travels in Vietnam and Philippines with both countries offering inbound and outbound ABTC lanes. Vietnam time saving is of the order of 60-90 minutes inbound when compared to my colleague plebs. Just means I got to stand outside waiting for them. Philippines time saving probably 30 minutes. Veit Nam also has the advance of the money saving on the visas.

When I arrived back to BNE there was a backlog on the automated gates so I diverted down the APEC manual processing channel. The agent questioned me as to why I hadn't first tried the automated gate. Anyway, I was soon on my way.
