Burkina Faso to Samoa: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
Heading from Burkina Faso to Samoa? 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 Burkina Faso plugs (Type C, E) won't fit Samoa's outlets (Type I). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for Samoa before you depart.
The voltage and frequency in Samoa (230V, 50Hz) are close to Burkina Faso (220V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.
Don't forget that Samoa 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.
