Malta to Sao Tome and Principe: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
Heading from Malta to Sao Tome and Principe? 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.
Malta uses Type G plugs, while Sao Tome and Principe uses Type C and F. 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 voltage and frequency in Sao Tome and Principe (230V, 50Hz) are the same as Malta (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 Sao Tome and Principe specifically, look for one that supports Type C/F outlets. USB charging ports built into the adapter are a nice bonus.
