Credit Card for non UK resident?

Estancia

Are there any ccc that offer cards to non UK residents? we are in the Falklands so fall under the UK umberella but are not actually resident in Britain.
I have a Lloyds TSB international account that gives me a debit card, but as we are so remote and all our financial life is conducted online it is becoming a real pain not having a credit card, in the last 6 months I have had to cancel 3 debit cards because of dodgey websites that I have ordered items off and I wasnt happy with them having my card details. I have to contact the bank, cancel the card and wait aprox 4 weeks for a new one to arrive which means I have no access to funds at all.
I would feel safer shopping on line with a credit card because of identity fraud etc, and also if I had to cancel the credit card and be re issued a new one then at least I have my debit card to fall back on while I wait for my new credit card to arrive.
I have spoken to Lloyds but they wont issue me with a credit card because we are not UK residents even though we have an international account with them and a good banking history & healthy bank balance.

Any advice?

My best advice will be to visit a price compare website such as money supermarket. then apply for a credit from all the credit card providers. I am positive that one of those credit card providers will accept you.

HSBC (maybe for existing customers only), NatWest and CapitalOne are quite keen on giving out a credit card to non-UK residents.
