Does an APEC card reliably grant visa-free entry?
score:4
I have an APEC card.
Mine does not include India - I must find if it has been added recently!
In a number of cases I have had visa free entry as a NZ citizen (Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Australia) so do not need the card there.
In China I have used it once or twice without major hassles. It was more a matter of unfamiliarity on the part of officials that caused a slight ripple. eg the lack of a visa sticker in the passport needed to be explained on one occasion with reference to the card. As most airports have APEC cardholder lanes at customs this is usually not an issue. I did not feel under any threat of non-entry in China - which is what would happen without a visa as they have no visa on arrival arrangements.
India does not appear to be part of the APEC card list for NZ. It may be different for the UK but I doubt that it is.

I recently received my APEC card from the United States, but it did not work in Indonesia. The Indonesian officials are refusing to accept APEC cards issued by the US. I've been in touch with US folks about it and they are saying they are working to fix the problem, but its a matter of training the Indonesian customs officials which they have no control over.
Until Indonesia gets on board, US issued APEC card holders are out of luck.
