Sockets in Kazakhstan
In Kazakhstan, you’ll find Type C and F plugs and sockets.
Type C
Type C sockets have two round pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they take a slimmer plug without an earth pin or fuse.
Type F
Type F sockets have two round pins with two earth clips on the side. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type F sockets.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Kazakhstan
We’ve tested this adaptor while travelling and compared them across price, durability, safety and performance, so you can be confident in our choice.
Forgotten your adaptor and already abroad? Don’t worry — airports and local shops usually stock them. That said, packing your own saves you from high prices and poor quality.
Kazakhstan is usually visited alongside Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. It’s smart to check the plug info — standards aren’t always the same across Central Asia.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Converters are only useful where voltages vary. In Kazakhstan, the mains is practically the same as back in Britain, so you won’t need one.
Before using your gadget overseas, glance at the voltage mark. Anything showing ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ will be fine without a voltage converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
It’s often the overlooked bits of kit that help the most. A luggage scale spares you the stress of overweight bags, a power bank keeps you going when outlets are scarce, and packing cubes keep everything in its place. We’ve tested them on the road, and they really earn their keep.
