There is no ATM on the airport! If you have not already got a visa, you have to buy one at the airport, the cost was 50 AUD in 2001. Kiribati use Australian dollars as their currency.
We had neither cash nor visas, but they let us into the country anyway. They took our passports, and we had to come to the presidents office the next day to pay for the visas and get the passports back.
We did not have any cash for transportation either, and approached a group of foreign residents to ask them how to get to the nearest hotel. They gave us a couple of coins for the bus and told us about the transportation system :-)
