Not what I wanted to hear, but I appreciate it's coming from someone with experience. Would using an Airbnb's address work do you think?Alter_ego said:I would put your chance of getting a card in these circumstances at approx zero.

Applying for a card saying you live at an address you don't live at is a recipe for a CIFAS fraud marker and no credit for 6 years.
You'd do better talking to the card provider directly, with proof of earnings and see if they will accept a business address for post but it's still unlikely as you don't live there1 -
I doubt a UK CC company would take on an application from someone living abroad.BarraDisciple said:
