Living Overseas Best Credit Card?

Options
Hi, I live and work in Abu Dhabi, am British, still have my UK bank account and rent my house out in the UK. Which is the best credit card to get for use outside the UK and how do I go about getting it as I am not resident in the UK anymore? Hope someone can help!

    Usually it's a requirement that you live in the UK, so you wouldn't be eligible for any of the mainstream cards.

    When I was resident in Abu Dhabi, I got credit cards from both NBAD and ABCD.

    I got mine by visiting a local branch, but there may be other ways to apply.

    HTH :)
