International Arrivals (KTM)
- After landing, follow airport signs for Arrivals and proceed into the international arrivals passenger flow.
- If you need a Visa on Arrival, keep an eye out for signs related to Visa / Immigration / Payment as you approach the immigration processing area.
- Before you commit to a long queue, scan nearby walls and overhead boards for the ATM icon—KTM is known for having ATMs positioned to support visa/payment needs.
- If you see an ATM booth before Immigration, use it if you need cash immediately for visa/payment. Confirm the fee and limit on-screen before accepting.
- Continue to Immigration once you have the cash you need (or once you confirm you don’t need cash for visa/payment).
- After Immigration, follow signs to Baggage Claim / Luggage Pickup and collect your luggage.
- In the baggage area, look again for ATM signage—some banks place ATMs near the luggage pickup zone for arriving passengers who didn’t withdraw earlier.
- Proceed to Customs and complete the exit process.
- Once you step out into the public International Arrivals hall (landside), check the services side of the hall for any additional ATMs, bank counters, and currency exchange counters.
- Withdraw only what you need for immediate expenses (SIM, taxi, porter tips, snacks). If a machine is busy or offline, walk to the next ATM point within the same hall before you leave the building.
Domestic Arrivals (KTM)
- After landing, follow signs for Arrivals and Baggage Claim.
- Collect your luggage and follow the passenger flow to the exit into the public Domestic Arrivals area (landside).
- In the public domestic concourse, look for signs reading “ATM” and head toward the main services corridor.
- If you can’t spot an ATM in the domestic arrivals flow, walk toward the Domestic Departure side (if accessible) where banks often position ATMs for departing passengers.
- Withdraw cash before you head outside to the pick-up / transport area.
- If you’re already outside, return inside and follow the ATM signage (this is usually faster than hunting for a street ATM immediately after landing).
Quick KTM Landmarks That Mean You’re Close
- International: If you’re in the Immigration / Visa on Arrival processing area, you’re near the ATM points designed for visa/payment convenience.
- International: If you’re at Baggage Claim / Luggage Pickup, you’re in another common ATM zone—check corners and service walls for an ATM booth.
- Landside: If you’re in the public Arrivals hall near transport/taxi flow and service counters, you’re close to the easiest last-chance ATM points before you exit the terminal.
- If you can clearly see the outside pick-up lanes, you’re likely just past the easiest ATM area—turn back inside and follow ATM signs.

ATM Withdrawal Tips & Advice for Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport (KTM)
- Prioritize the visa/payment ATM zone first: If you need cash for Visa on Arrival or any payment during the immigration process, look for an ATM booth before Immigration or in the immigration-adjacent area before you join long queues.
- Have a backup plan inside the terminal: KTM can get congested, and a single machine can become a bottleneck. If one ATM is out of cash or declines your card, switch to another bank’s ATM inside the airport (arrivals flow vs baggage claim vs arrivals hall) rather than retrying the same machine.
- Card acceptance can differ by machine: Some airport ATMs have historically had issues reading certain card types. If you’re traveling with both Visa and Mastercard, keep both handy and be ready to try a different ATM booth.
- Use baggage-claim ATMs if you skipped the first ATM: If you didn’t withdraw before Immigration, check again near luggage pickup—some banks place ATMs there specifically for arriving passengers.
- Withdraw a “Kathmandu starter amount” at KTM: Use KTM ATMs to cover your first essentials (SIM, taxi/prepaid transport, snacks), then consider making larger withdrawals later at a main-city bank ATM if you want more choice and fewer crowds.
- Don’t exit the building without checking the arrivals hall: Once you’re landside in the public arrivals hall, do a final scan for ATMs and banking services before you head outside—this is the easiest place to turn back if you realize you still need cash.
- If you’re meeting a driver, withdraw before you step into the curbside crush: KTM’s curbside can be hectic; it’s usually smoother to finish ATM withdrawals inside, then walk out ready for pickup.
- Keep small notes in mind: When you receive cash, check what denominations you got—small notes are handy immediately after arrival for quick purchases and tips.
