International Arrivals — Terminal 1 (IKA)
- After landing, follow airport signs for Arrivals and Passport Control / Immigration.
- If you need Visa on Arrival (VOA), complete the VOA steps first, then proceed to Passport Control.
- After Passport Control, follow signs to Baggage Claim and collect your luggage.
- Continue to Customs and complete the exit process.
- As soon as you step into the public Arrivals Hall (landside), slow down and look for signs reading “ATM”, “Bank”, or “Exchange”.
- Walk toward the banking/currency services zone in the Arrivals Hall—this is where multiple bank counters and ATMs are typically clustered.
- If you don’t see an ATM immediately, walk along the Arrivals Hall perimeter (ATMs are often placed along walls/columns near service counters).
- Withdraw cash before you exit to the taxi/transport area—once outside, you may need to re-enter and re-clear building access points to come back in.
International Departures — Terminal 1 (Before Passport Control)
- Enter Terminal 1 and follow signs for Departures and your airline check-in counters.
- Before you join long check-in lines, scan the Departures Hall for the bank/exchange zone and ATM signage.
- If you need to pay departure tax, look specifically for signs reading “Departure Tax / عوارض خروج” and nearby ATM/payment kiosks.
- Complete your cash withdrawal or departure-tax payment before you proceed to passport control if you want the easiest access (landside is simpler than re-routing back from transit).
International Departures — Terminal 1 (After Passport Control / Transit & Boarding)
- After check-in, proceed to Passport Control and enter the departures transit area.
- In the Departure Transit Hall, look for dedicated ATMs (including travel-currency ATMs where available).
- Once in the Boarding Halls, continue to follow “ATM” signage—some ATMs are placed near seating clusters, retail corridors, and airline gate waiting zones.
- Tip: If the first ATM is busy or out of service, keep walking toward the next gate cluster; the boarding area often has more than one ATM point.
Salam Terminal Arrivals (Terminal 2) — Pilgrimage / Hajj Routes (When Operating)
- After landing at Salam Terminal, follow signs for Arrivals and Passport Control (if applicable to your flight).
- Collect luggage at Baggage Claim, then continue through Customs.
- Enter the public Arrivals Hall (landside) and look for ATM and Bank/Exchange signage near the services zone.
- Salam Terminal commonly places multiple ATMs around the main services area; if you don’t see one immediately, scan the perimeter walls and columns.
Quick IKA Landmarks That Mean You’re Close
- Terminal 1 Arrivals: If you can see bank counters / currency exchange windows in the public hall, you’re in the right place—ATMs are typically nearby.
- Terminal 1 Departures: If you see departure tax signage or a payments area, you’re usually close to the ATM/kiosk cluster used for tax and travel-currency needs.
- Transit/Boarding: If you’re already past passport control and can see gate waiting areas, look along retail corridors and seating islands for “ATM” signs.
Use the map below to find the nearest ATMs and banks near Tehran Imam Khomeini Airport (IKA), especially if you can’t use the ATMs inside the airport or prefer to withdraw cash outside the airport.
ATM Withdrawal Tips & Advice for Tehran Imam Khomeini Airport (IKA)
- Plan for card limitations at IKA: Due to banking restrictions/sanctions, many foreign-issued cards (Visa/Mastercard) typically do not work at Iranian ATMs. At IKA, assume you’ll need cash exchange (USD/EUR) or a local Iranian card solution from airport bank counters if you need electronic access to rials.
- Use the Arrivals Hall bank/ATM cluster immediately after Customs: In Terminal 1, the fastest “first cash” moment is in the public Arrivals Hall near the bank/exchange area—withdraw or exchange before you walk out to taxis.
- Know the best ATM zones for departures: Terminal 1 has ATMs in both Departures Hall (landside) and Transit/Boarding (airside). If you want the simplest access (no re-routing), use landside ATMs before passport control.
- Departure tax payments: If you need to pay departure tax (عوارض خروج), look for the dedicated departure tax ATM/payment kiosks in the departures hall—do this early, especially during late-night departure waves.
- Travel-currency ATMs are placed deeper in departures: At IKA, “travel currency” ATMs are typically referenced in Departure Transit and Boarding Halls. Use these only if you’re already inside the departures flow and need a last-minute solution.
- Terminal choice matters: IKA operates multiple terminals (including Terminal 1 and Salam Terminal). If you arrive at Salam, go to the Arrivals Hall services zone first—ATMs are commonly clustered there for arriving passengers.
- Bring small USD/EUR bills as a backup: If ATMs are busy or your payment method fails, airport exchange counters can be your fallback. Having small notes helps you exchange only what you need for your first taxi/metro ride.
