They do give them, i've had one with SCB since 2012, one thing that is important (where Foreigners are concerned) the company must be a above board legit company which has an appearance of going somewhere, not a mom and pop store or similar, in my case we were developing a 150m$ resort, and had 60 staff on payroll (directly) that was set to extend to 200 when complete for the hotel side. We banked with SCB initially, and they had our history etc and then moved to Bangkok Bank later, so there was at least 5yrs history of the company and SCB for them to pull from. i got a card from citibank which i recently got approved...credit limit around 400K..

You already have one credit card. That means you have credit history. That should make things easier for you. It's always trouble getting the first one as there is no credit rating on you, but with a clean record, assuming you meet their criteria (you can check it on the websites of the banks in question and even get a pre-approval from them right on the web in many cases) there's a good chance you would be approved.

YT3k72Em Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 They will give up to 5x your salary. Citi seem to be very generous at upgrading your credit limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And generally you will need to show payslips, not bank deposits. And they ask you, tax payment proof, even it it's not stated in the required documents, i got rejected by amex, and asked why they said i not send them tax payment proof, after i send it, i got approved in 2 days.

Amazing how money zips around the world. Makes it a lot quicker than a cash transaction. I’ve gotta stop using it tho. The balance isn’t “everywhere I want to be” anymore.

Yep, I have a similar one, with 1% cash back and no fees. Does seem to work faster than MC. FWIW, used my CIMB visa debit, as a visa card, in a us grocery chain, it was super fast. Citi US just offered me an american airlines card..spend 3000 usd in the first three months and get 60k miles bonus..a one way is 37.5k miles. And capital one sent me an offer if I spend 500 in the first three months, I get a 200 statement credit. The Thai cards don't give anything nearly as good, and the consumer protection is a joke.
