Cabo Verde to Tuvalu: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
Getting ready for your journey from Cabo Verde to Tuvalu? Electrical compatibility is easy to overlook, but bringing the wrong plug or forgetting an adapter can leave you scrambling at your hotel. Here's what you need to know.
Cabo Verde uses Type C and F plugs, while Tuvalu uses Type I. 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 Tuvalu (220V, 50Hz) are close to Cabo Verde (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.
When packing for Tuvalu, 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.
