Rupert Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 You could just try and see. Personally I would wait a bit longer, but you could try. I wouldn't say it is for emergencies though, in fact banks prefer to think there will be regular use on the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 It depends on what visa you are on. If it is a WHV then no. They will give a visa debit, but not a credit. If on a long temp visa such as a 457, then it shouldnt be a problem and pr visas are obviously fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUFC Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 For most Aussie Credit cards you will have to provide evidence of your annual income, standard for 457 Visa applicants is $50,000 pre tax. I recall the Comm bank being the only one that does not have this income requirement. O and AMEX allows you to transfer your card from the country you are emigrating.

rommelverain Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 it depends on the bank that you are getting a credit card to. i think that you should wait a little bit more so there's less in denying your application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
