Travel Adapter for Indonesia: Do You Need One? (Mauritius → Indonesia)Adapter Needed

If you're heading to Indonesia from Mauritius, sorting out the power situation is one of the easiest pre-trip wins. Below you'll find the plug types, voltage, and frequency used in Indonesia, whether you need an adapter, and which devices are safe to plug in.

Do you need a travel adapter for Indonesia?

Good news: you generally don't need a plug adapter. Both Mauritius and Indonesia use Type C outlets, so your existing plugs should fit Indonesia's sockets directly. A universal adapter is still worth keeping in your bag as a backup for future trips.

What plugs and sockets does Indonesia use?

Indonesia uses these power plug types: Type C (Europlug): two round pins, ungrounded, and the most widely used plug across Europe; Type F (Schuko): two round pins with grounding clips on the sides, standard in Germany and much of Europe. Outlets run at 230V and 50Hz. Since Mauritius also uses Type C, your plugs already match.

Voltage and frequency in Indonesia

Indonesia runs on 230V at 50Hz, the same as Mauritius (230V, 50Hz). That means voltage isn't a concern here, since your appliances won't be over- or under-powered, so no voltage converter is needed.

Will your devices work in Indonesia?

Phones, tablets, laptops, and camera chargers are nearly always dual-voltage (100-240V), so they work in Indonesia with just your existing plug, and no converter is required. Even heat-based appliances like hair dryers and straighteners should run fine given the matching 230V supply, though it's always worth a quick label check.

What travel adapter should you buy for Indonesia?

Because Mauritius and Indonesia share Type C outlets, you don't need a special adapter for this trip. A universal travel adapter is still a smart, inexpensive backup if you plan to travel elsewhere, and the better ones add USB-C fast charging to free up your charger.

Tips for charging your devices in Indonesia

Pack at least one adapter per traveler, and consider a small power strip from home, which turns a single Indonesia outlet into several. Ordering online before you fly is almost always cheaper than airport kiosks.
