Antigua and Barbuda to Congo (Congo-Kinshasa): Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
Heading from Antigua and Barbuda to Congo (Congo-Kinshasa)? 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.
Antigua and Barbuda uses Type A and B plugs, while Congo (Congo-Kinshasa) uses Type C and D and E. Since there is no overlap, you will need a travel adapter to plug in your devices. Make sure to pick one up before your trip or at the airport.
The voltage and frequency in Congo (Congo-Kinshasa) (220V, 50Hz) are close to Antigua and Barbuda (230V, 60Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.
When packing for Congo (Congo-Kinshasa), bring at least one adapter per room if you're traveling with others. Airport shops often sell them at a markup, so ordering one online beforehand saves money. A small power strip from home can also multiply a single adapter into several outlets.
