in the case of an applicant who is a permanent resident of Hong Kong—the holder of any valid passport; and
the applicant:
has applied to the Government of the designated APEC economy for an APEC Business Travel Card under arrangements in force between Australia and designated APEC economies; or
in the case of an applicant who is a permanent resident of Hong Kong—has applied to the Government of Hong Kong for an APEC Business Travel Card under arrangements in force between Australia and designated APEC economies; and
that Government has provided that application or the information contained in that application to Immigration.
