Hi, i would like to know how to get a credit card in UAE,
i am on a freelance visa, self-employed, and already have an ENBD account.

i requested the bank, but they say your salary is coming from a company abroad which is not registered in UAE, so not possible, does any one have other solution?


Regards

Offer them a fixed deposit of the Credit line. Solves this.

salary comes from abroad in USD in my ENBD USD account, thats the issue, they dont consider that as a salary for purpose of a loan or credit card, also even if its a uae company they want atleast 20 employees in the company i think

You can get an employer of reference in the UAE, which also allows you to get a mortgage more easily at better rates.
If it's just for a credit card, it's probably not worth it though, better to just use a fixed deposit.

And as to benefits from credit cards, the best benefits are by far from US credit cards. And with a US LLC you can get an ITIN, open bank accounts in the US, build a credit record, and get the best US credit cards. Takes some planning and time, but doable.

Thanks, my goal to get a credit card was, the local features and benefits it offers, such as buying things on installments, Airport Transfers, Lounge access, Careem discounts, cashback etc.
