Iran to China: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
Heading from Iran to China? 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 Iran and China 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 China (220V, 50Hz) are close to Iran (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.
A universal travel adapter with multiple plug configurations is a smart investment if you travel frequently. For China specifically, look for one that supports Type A/C/I outlets. USB charging ports built into the adapter are a nice bonus.
Frequently Asked Questions
Not necessarily. Both countries support Type C plugs, so your devices should fit China's outlets directly.
