Normally you need to have a job and regular income or if you are a student you can get one with minimal credit line.
Ask at your bank.

Eligibility
To avail of the credit card, you should be at least 18 years of age. You should be employed or have some regular source of income. These are two important criteria and if you can give convincing proof to demonstrate your suitability, you will be easily approved. You may have failed to pay back the old credit card debt or some flaw may be present in your credit report. In this situation, getting a card will be tough.

You have to be 18 to sign any legal contract. Getting a credit card involves a legal contract to repay the charges.

18, unless one of your parents puts you as an additional signature on one of their accounts.
You can't sign a contract until you're 18. If the bank gave you a card when you were under 18, they couldn't collect the money back if you charged stuff because you weren't legally old enough to agree to pay it.

Some places 18, others 21. Depend on where you are.

In the US, you need to be 18. Theoretically, you need to have the capacity to contract which isn't possible under common law until you reach the age of majority.

The legal age varies by location. One criterion doesn't change, you have to be old enough to use it wisely...
