Left your adaptor at home? Airports and local shops tend to have them. But having your own is safer, cheaper, and far less stressful.
Taiwan is usually visited alongside nearby countries like Japan and South Korea. It’s worth checking those pages too — plugs and voltage can be slightly different.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You’ll probably need a voltage converter in Taiwan for certain devices, as the mains supply there doesn’t match ours. In the UK we use 230 V, so the voltage isn’t the same.
Before you connect to the mains abroad, make sure the label says ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ — in that case, no voltage converter is needed.

We’ve put them to the test, and they really are worth packing.
