Chile to South Korea: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Heading from Chile to South Korea? 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.

Both Chile and South Korea use Type C plugs, so your devices should plug right in. An adapter isn't strictly necessary for this trip.

The voltage and frequency in South Korea (220V, 60Hz) are the same as Chile (220V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Don't forget that South Korea 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.
