How much does your annual income have to be for a credit card?

You can start off building credit with Capital One; they have a VISA where you put up money of your own, and use the credit card similar to a debit card. Building credit history is the key. In the States even illegal aliens without social security numbers can get credit cards. Credit history is the key, lenders want to know you have a record of paying off your debts. Of course yearly income helps, as does history with a bank. Try getting a card with a bank you've had a relationship with for a while first. I've known people with salaries as low as $12,000 a year get credit cards.

Your question seems a bit vague, but if I am understanding you, If you have "No" Credit, and want to start building credit, then the best way is to start making some small purchases on your credit card and paying them off over time. Maybe three payments worth. However, you want to be sure that the merchant you are making payments to, actually reports to the credit bureaus. That's the key element here.
