New Zealand to Guinea-Bissau: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Heading from New Zealand to Guinea-Bissau? 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.

Your New Zealand plugs (Type I) won't fit Guinea-Bissau's outlets (Type C). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for Guinea-Bissau before you depart.

The voltage and frequency in Guinea-Bissau (220V, 50Hz) are close to New Zealand (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Most modern phone chargers, laptop adapters, and camera chargers are designed to handle 100-240V input, so they'll work anywhere with just a plug adapter. Heat-producing appliances like hair dryers and flat irons are often single-voltage, so check before you plug them in abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. New Zealand uses Type I plugs and Guinea-Bissau uses Type C. Since these are incompatible, you will need a travel adapter.
