Antigua and Barbuda to Benin: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Heading from Antigua and Barbuda to Benin? Plug types and voltage standards differ between countries, so a little preparation goes a long way. Here's a breakdown of what to expect at the wall socket.

Your Antigua and Barbuda plugs (Type A, B) won't fit Benin's outlets (Type C, E). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for Benin before you depart.

The voltage and frequency in Benin (220V, 50Hz) are close to Antigua and Barbuda (230V, 60Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Don't forget that Benin hotel rooms sometimes have a universal shaver socket in the bathroom, but these low-wattage outlets aren't suitable for high-draw devices. For reliable charging, use the standard wall outlets with a proper adapter.

Frequently Asked Questions
