You may wish to check the approval status of your application via https://www.abtc-aps.org/abtc-core/status/check.html, 3 to 4 weeks after the approval of your application. Do select “Singapore” as the Economy of Application and key in the applicant’s passport number to check.
The processing time for an ABTC is at least three months upon the receipt of the application. In some cases, it may take up to a year to secure pre-clearance from all ABTC-participating economies.
The clearance of your ABTC is dependent on other APEC economies’ processing times. As several APEC economies have just resumed normalcy after disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the issuance of your interim and/or your final card may be delayed.
