The credit card limit depends on your annual income and creditworthiness. Usually banks look at an applicant’s credit history to determine the consumer’s creditworthiness. But since you have no credit history the main factor will be your annual income. No one can tell you in advance what decision the bank will make, but the higher your income, the higher your limit will be.
