S'pore joins APEC business program

SINGAPORE: Singapore has joined an Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) program that cuts the red tape for business travellers seeking to work in the other member nations, the organization said on Wednesday.

Under the APEC Business Travel Card program, nationals from the 16 participating countries can use express immigration lanes at each other's airports.

Business travellers from the other 15 nations will also be able to stay in Singapore for 60 days without a visa, APEC said in a statement released here. -- AFP
