Sockets in Vanuatu
Vanuatu uses Type I plugs and 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 Vanuatu
Our team researched and tried many adaptors while travelling. We looked closely at quality, safety and price. This adaptor proved the most reliable.
Realised abroad that you’ve left your adaptor behind? You’ll often find them in airports and shops nearby. Still, carrying your own is cheaper and more reliable.
Vanuatu is often visited along with Fiji and the Solomon Islands. It’s a good idea to confirm plug types — standards can change from island to island.
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 Vanuatu you won’t need one — the mains voltage is roughly the same as in the UK.
Before using your device overseas, check the small print on the voltage label. Anything marked ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ will run without a converter, which covers most modern electronics.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
It’s not just your adaptor that matters when you’re abroad. A digital luggage scale keeps check-in drama at bay, a power bank gives you peace of mind on long journeys, and packing cubes make your suitcase far easier to manage. Once you’ve tried them, you’ll wonder how you coped before.
