When can I apply for a credit card through Nova Credit? Can I apply before moving to the country that I intend to move to?

Generally, you can apply for a credit card only after moving to the country of destination.

Most credit card providers and lenders require proof of a residential address for the application. Such proof is usually established through a local bank account, utility bill, or phone bill. Apartment lease contracts or gym memberships are generally not accepted to verify your address.
