Using APEC Business Travel Card on the Trans-Mongolian Railway

score:2

Accepted answer

The closest I can find to an official party line is this VFS Global website that states:

If you are travelling to Russia with NON-BUSINESS purposes such as Tourist or Employment, you have to apply for an appropriate visa even if you have your APEC Card approved for RUS.

The interesting thing is that letters of invitation do not appear to be required if using the ABTC, which makes it unclear how they'd determine this? To be continued...

Note: VFS Global is a 3rd-party visa agency, so they're not an official source of truth, but they "operate the administrative functions" of issuing Russian visas in countries including Singapore.
