In Belize, they use Type A, B, and G plugs and sockets. The mains voltage is 110/220 V, and the frequency is 60 Hz.
So, you’ll definitely need a travel adaptor in Belize. Their plugs and sockets aren’t the same as our Type G back in the UK.

Recommended Travel Adaptor for Belize
After extensive testing on the road and careful checks on safety, durability, functionality and cost, this adaptor proved to be the most reliable choice.
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.
Belize is often combined with nearby countries like Guatemala and Mexico. Worth a look at those pages too — you might need a different adaptor.
Sockets in Belize
The plug types you’ll find in Belize are Type A, B, and G plugs and sockets.
Type A
Type A sockets have two flat parallel pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they don’t include an earth pin, which makes them less secure.
Type B
Type B sockets have two flat parallel pins plus a round grounding pin. Unlike Type G, the pins are thinner and there’s no built-in fuse.
Type G
Type G sockets have three rectangular pins arranged in a triangular pattern, with a built-in fuse for safety. They are the standard used in the United Kingdom.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
The mains in Belize doesn’t line up with the UK’s 230 V, meaning a voltage converter will be needed for some devices.
Do check the voltage label on your kit before you travel. If it states ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, you’re safe to use it without a converter.
