Bahamas to Cabo Verde: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Traveling from Bahamas to Cabo Verde means crossing into a different electrical system. Before you leave, take a moment to understand the plug types and voltage used in Cabo Verde so you can keep all your devices charged and ready.

The plug types are different between these two countries. In Bahamas, outlets accept Type A/B, but in Cabo Verde you'll find Type C/F sockets. A travel plug adapter is essential for this trip.

Voltage is another key difference. Bahamas uses 120V while Cabo Verde uses 230V. If your device only supports one voltage, using it with the wrong supply could cause overheating or permanent damage. Look for "Input: 100-240V" on your charger. Most modern phone and laptop chargers support this range.

Rather than packing bulky converters, consider buying travel-sized dual-voltage versions of appliances you can't live without. For phones and laptops, all you'll need is the right plug adapter since their chargers almost always support worldwide voltage.
