I don't think you can apply for the card, if you don't live in the US. Perhaps apply in the country you're living in?

The APEC card requires you travel for business purposes to the member countries. Plus you must be a Global Entry, or similar member. Get interviewed, etc.

I'm also a little confused about the APEC card. The website shows that you still need a visa for countries that require them. Is the purpose of the card to just get through security quicker?

The APEC card costs $70, in addition to the $100 Global Entry or similar, fee.
