In Timor-Leste, they use Type C, E, F, and I plugs and sockets. The mains voltage is 220 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz.
So, you’ll definitely need a travel adaptor in Timor-Leste. Their plugs and sockets aren’t the same as our Type G back in the UK.

Sockets in Timor-Leste
In Timor-Leste, you’ll find Type C, E, F, and I 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 E
Type E sockets have two round pins and a hole for the socket’s earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type E sockets.
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.
Type I
Type I sockets have two flat angled pins and sometimes a vertical earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type I sockets.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Timor-Leste
We’ve carried out thorough research, tested adaptors on real trips, and compared price, quality, safety features and charging speed — this is the one that came out on top.
No adaptor once you’ve landed? Airports and local shops are an option. But nothing beats the peace of mind of having your own ready to use.
Timor-Leste is commonly visited alongside Indonesia and Australia. It’s smart to check plug types — island nations often follow their own systems.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You’ll only ever need a voltage converter if your device’s voltage doesn’t match the country’s. In Timor-Leste you won’t need one — the mains voltage is roughly the same as in the UK.
Always check the mains voltage label before plugging in abroad; if it shows ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, you won’t need a 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.
