Iceland to North Korea: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

If you're heading to North Korea from Iceland, 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.

Good news: Iceland and North Korea share compatible plug types (Type C). Your existing plugs should fit directly into North Korea's outlets without any adapter needed.

The voltage and frequency in North Korea (220V, 50Hz) are close to Iceland (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

When packing for North Korea, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
