My spouse does not live, work or earn money in the USA, so he doesn't pay US taxes. (I file as "married, filing separately.")

Can we apply for an ITIN for him, even though he does not now and will not be paying US taxes?

But I want him to be able to apply for US credit cards. He can't get an SSN since he doesn't work in the US, but you can apply for cards with an ITIN (individual taxpayer ID number).

From what you described it looks like your husband is not entitled for ITIN.
