How to get a Dialog tourist SIM at BIA?

Ravana Tour Specialist August 9, 2026

When you land, buy a Dialog tourist connection right away at the 24/7 telecom kiosk in the airport arrivals hall, just beyond the duty-free area. Bring your physical passport, though, because the staff has to register the line properly for legal purposes.

The kiosk attendants will insert the SIM card, set up your APN details, and switch on the data package on the spot. These tourist plans often include unlimited data for must-have apps like WhatsApp, plus a solid local allowance that stays valid for 30 days.
