for international students, it is very difficult to apply for a credit card because they don't have any credit history. For example, to open an account with a credit card in the United States, applicants are required to have a social security number (SSN), a stable job and a good credit record. Parents can apply for a dual-currency credit card master card and a secondary card for their children in China.

Take Guangfa International Student Credit Card as an example, the materials to be submitted for application are as follows:

1. Identification materials: a copy of resident ID card or military officer's card; Compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao shall provide copies of travel permits to and from the Mainland and residence certificates for more than one year; Foreigners can provide a copy of passport and residence permit for more than one year.
