Recommended Travel Adaptor for Moldova
We’ve researched extensively and tested many adaptors abroad. Safety, speed, durability and cost were all considered. This one is by far the best 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.
Moldova is often part of a trip that includes Romania and Ukraine. Plug systems may vary, so it’s smart to double-check before you go.
Sockets in Moldova
Moldova 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.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Voltage converters are only necessary if there’s a mismatch. In Moldova the mains supply is more or less the same as in the UK, so you’re fine.
Before charging abroad, glance at the mains label: ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ confirms it’ll run safely without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
If you’re looking to travel smarter, these are the items to bring. A luggage scale makes sure your bag isn’t tipping the limits, a power bank gives your gadgets a second life, and packing cubes make living out of a suitcase easy. They’re small, affordable, and seriously handy.
