Hello, the requirements and procedures for applying for a British credit card are as follows:

The information required for international students in the UK to apply for a card is as follows:

1. Proof of identity: with Your photo ID, which can be your passport.

2. Proof of address: recent utility bill (within three months) or bank statement (must have name and address), letter of introduction from the school (Letter of Introduction for UK Banking Facilities), or provide a lease contract for school dormitories for students living on campus.

3. Proof of student identity: Admission notice issued by the school or offer from UCAS.

Account opening process:

① Go to the bank to make an appointment in advance. The bank’s business hours are usually from 9:30 to 17:00 from Monday to Friday, and there are some major holidays on weekends. It's closed. Please pay attention to the time.

②Go to the bank on time to apply for a card at the agreed time. After reading your information, bank staff will ask you why you applied for a card and then recommend an account type that suits you.

③After opening the account, the staff will ask you if you have any cash that you need to deposit into the account now. If there is, after counting the amount, the staff will take you to the counter to deposit it into the newly opened account. If you need to open telephone banking and online banking, you can also do so.

④Next, you just need to wait for the card and account opening letter to be sent from the post office, which will usually be sent to your residence within a week.

Non-British nationals can enjoy tax exemption when paying interest on deposits, so remember to apply for tax exemption when opening an account. The UK tax year runs to the end of March. The bank will withhold interest income tax from the interest on deposits in student accounts. According to the current British tax laws, foreign students who stay in the UK for no more than four years do not have to pay interest income tax (exemption amount: 1,965 pounds).
