Dominican Republic to Cabo Verde: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Whether it's a business trip or a vacation, traveling from Dominican Republic to Cabo Verde requires a quick check on power compatibility. The last thing you want is to arrive and discover your charger doesn't fit the outlets.

There's no plug compatibility between Dominican Republic and Cabo Verde. Dominican Republic devices use Type A/B connectors, while Cabo Verde sockets are Type C/F. An adapter is a must-have for this destination.

The electrical standards differ significantly: Dominican Republic operates at 120V/60Hz and Cabo Verde at 230V/50Hz. For single-voltage appliances (hair straighteners, kettles, etc.), this mismatch could damage your device or even be a safety hazard. Always verify your device's voltage rating before plugging in.

Don't forget that Cabo Verde 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.
