Sockets in Wallis and Futuna
Wallis and Futuna uses Type C and E 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.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Wallis and Futuna
Countless adaptors were put through our checks while travelling. We compared safety, charging speed and build quality. This adaptor proved the clear winner.
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.
Wallis and Futuna is sometimes combined with other Pacific stops like Fiji and New Caledonia. It’s a good idea to check plug types — island systems can vary.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Voltage converters are only necessary if there’s a mismatch. In Wallis and Futuna the mains supply is more or less the same as in the UK, so you’re fine.
Make sure to look at the voltage label before travelling. Devices marked ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ will operate abroad without any converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
