Sockets in Armenia
Armenia uses 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 Armenia
We’ve researched widely and tried this adaptor ourselves while travelling, weighing up value, quality, safety and performance — here’s the one we recommend.
No adaptor with you and already abroad? You’re not out of options — many airports and local shops sell them. Still, bringing your own is the simplest way to avoid paying over the odds or ending up with something that barely works.
Armenia is often combined with trips to Georgia and Azerbaijan. It’s a good idea to check the adaptor info — plug types and voltage may vary.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You won’t need a converter in Armenia, as the mains voltage is basically the same as at home in the UK.
Have a look at your device’s voltage label before plugging in abroad. If it says ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, there’s no need for a converter — laptops, tablets and other modern gadgets usually have this built in.
