Welcome to the companion resources for International Cosmetic Surgery: A Comprehensive Guide for a Smoother Journey. Explore practical airport information and an editable travel document referenced in the book.
A note from LD: Airport layouts and screening rules can change. This page is designed to evolve alongside the book, so please check the dates and official sources before traveling.
Airport ATM Directory
Find cash machines after arrival, organized alphabetically by country. Directions begin after immigration, baggage collection and customs unless stated otherwise. Some airports do not publish exact machine positions; those entries give a practical on-site fallback instead of an invented location.
Airport research compiled: October 18, 2026. Airport facilities, access and fees can change. Some listings are based on third-party reports or provide an information-desk fallback when an exact ATM position is not established. Each listing includes a reference link; confirm details before travel.
Brazil
Terminal 3 arrivals: Banco24Horas and DAI cash machines are listed on the arrivals level. After immigration, baggage claim and customs, enter the arrivals area and follow the ATM/bank signs. Terminal 2 also has machines in its east and west arrivals areas.
Terminal 2, Level 0, public arrivals area: 24-hour cash machines. After customs, enter the public arrivals concourse and look for the 24-hour ATM service.
Czechia
Terminal 1 public arrivals hall: MONETA Money Bank ATM. Terminal 2 public arrivals hall: MONETA Money Bank ATM; other ATMs are in the connecting corridor. After baggage collection, walk into your terminal’s public arrivals hall.
India
Terminal 3 international arrivals: IndusInd Bank ATM. After immigration and baggage claim, follow signs for International Arrivals and ATMs; the airport also lists machines in the general T3 arrivals area.
Terminal 2: ATMs are available, including in arrivals/public-side areas, but the airport’s current public material does not identify a specific ATM beside an international-arrivals exit. After baggage claim, ask at the international-arrivals information desk (between baggage belts 8 and 9), or at the arrivals plaza information desk between exit gates A and B, for the closest operating machine.
Malaysia
Terminal 1 main terminal: ATMs are listed in the arrivals hall (Level 3) as well as elsewhere in the main terminal. Follow signs from immigration and baggage reclaim to Arrivals, Level 3, and look for the bank/ATM area. Confirm whether your flight uses Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 before following these directions.
Panama
Arrivals areas of Terminals 1 and 2 are reported to have bank ATMs. After baggage collection and customs, look for Banco General, Banistmo or BAC machines in the public arrivals area. The precise machine position is not published in a current official terminal directory; ask the arrivals information desk before leaving the terminal.
South Africa
Terminal A international arrivals: two ABSA ATMs are listed beside the ABSA bank branch. After baggage claim and customs, enter the arrivals concourse and look for the ABSA branch. Other ATMs are in the retail/food-court area.
Central Terminal, international arrivals: listings identify Capitec, FNB and Standard Bank ATMs. From international arrivals, follow signs toward the central terminal/public arrivals area and look for bank ATMs. This location is supported by an airport-services directory rather than a current airport-operated ATM map.
Thailand
Official airport listing: Kasikorn Bank ATM, main terminal Level 1 public area near entrances 3 and 7. From the Level 2 international arrivals hall, use a lift/escalator down one level to Level 1 and head toward entrance 3 or 7. This is an ATM, not merely a currency-exchange counter.
The exact position of an ATM in the international arrivals terminal could not be established from a reliable current airport directory. After immigration and customs, use the public international-arrivals hall information counter to locate the nearest operating bank ATM. Do not rely on an unverified exit number or machine location.
Tunisia
Travelers report multiple ATMs in the arrivals hall, including after baggage collection, but an authoritative current terminal map with machine positions is not available. After customs, check the public arrivals hall bank/ATM area and confirm fees before withdrawing.
Türkiye (Turkey)
Independent airport-arrival guidance describes a bank-ATM cluster in the public international arrivals hall after customs. From baggage reclaim, follow the Arrivals exit into the public hall and look for bank/ATM signage; the exact machine bank and exit door are not confirmed by an official current directory. Be sure to use Istanbul Airport (IST), not the former Atatürk airport.
The airport confirms ATMs in its terminals, including machines operated by Akbank, Garanti, İşbank, Denizbank, Yapı Kredi and others. After baggage collection and customs in your arrival terminal (International Terminal 1 or 2), follow signs for banks/ATMs and consult the terminal floor plan; the airport does not specify one universal arrivals ATM position.
United Arab Emirates
Dubai Airports confirms currency-exchange services in the arrivals areas of Terminals 1 and 3, but the airport source checked does not pinpoint an ATM in the arrivals hall. After customs, ask the airport information desk for the closest operating ATM; if cash is needed immediately, follow the signed currency-exchange counters in arrivals.
A precise arrivals ATM position could not be established from a current official terminal directory. After immigration, baggage collection and customs, ask the airport information desk in the public arrivals hall for the nearest bank-operated ATM. Avoid following directions that refer to the old Terminal 1/3 arrangement.

TSA & International Security Medical Notification Card

After surgery, compression garments, swelling, and sensitive incisions can make security screening a little more complicated. I created this card to help you discreetly explain your circumstances and request a private screening or other available accommodations.
This is a personal communication aid, not an official TSA card or a guarantee of modified screening. Screening requirements vary by country and airport.
