Costa Rica to Suriname: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) No Adapter Needed

Heading from Costa Rica to Suriname? 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 Costa Rica and Suriname use Type A/B plugs, so your devices should plug right in. An adapter isn't strictly necessary for this trip.

The voltage and frequency in Suriname (120V, 220V) are the same as Costa Rica (120V, 60Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Don't forget that Suriname 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.
