Questions about apply credit card or debit card in USA?

I just moved from my country to America as a boarding student. I’ am 17 years old can i apply for a credit card or a debit card?? Im from thailand.
Thanks

You can if you have social security number, which I would assume you do since u r a student here.. You can apply but you will have very high interest rate cards but that’s for everyone who gets c.c for the first time even the kids u r born here.. Either call any c.c company or wait few weeks they will send u the offer in mail. In any case make sure u make wise decision, having a c.c is no big deal don’t rush into things just for having a c.c. Read every fine print sentences. If u r calling, ask questions if u don’t understand something don’t just keep quiet make sure u know what u r getting into.. Try to get a c.c with no or minimal annual fees.. Have a friend to help u if u r not sure if u can handle the phone conversation with c.c people(trust me they hire nasty rude bitch**)
I guess pretty much that’s it, I wish someone might have given me few tips when I was getting my first c.c in U.S but then again I was not familiar with YAHOO ANSWERS…..
YEAH FOR YAHOO
