Bahamas to Papua New Guinea: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
Heading from Bahamas to Papua New Guinea? 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 Bahamas plugs (Type A, B) won't fit Papua New Guinea's outlets (Type I). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for Papua New Guinea before you depart.
Voltage is another key difference. Bahamas uses 120V while Papua New Guinea uses 240V. 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.
