Haiti to Rwanda: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

If you're heading to Rwanda from Haiti, it's worth checking the power situation before you pack. Different countries use different outlet types and electrical standards, so your devices may not plug in directly when you arrive.

Haiti uses Type A and B plugs, while Rwanda uses Type C and J. 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 electrical standards differ significantly: Haiti operates at 110V/60Hz and Rwanda 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 Rwanda 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Haiti uses Type A/B plugs and Rwanda uses Type C/J. Since these are incompatible, you will need a travel adapter.
