New Zealand to Cabo Verde: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Whether it's a business trip or a vacation, traveling from New Zealand to Cabo Verde requires a quick check on power compatibility. The last thing you want is to arrive and discover your charger doesn't fit the outlets.

The plug types are different between these two countries. In New Zealand, outlets accept Type I, but in Cabo Verde you'll find Type C/F sockets. A travel plug adapter is essential for this trip.

On the voltage front, New Zealand (230V, 50Hz) and Cabo Verde (230V, 50Hz) are identical. You shouldn't need a voltage converter for your electronics.

Don't forget that Cabo Verde 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
