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

Heading from Nicaragua 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 Nicaragua plugs (Type A, B) 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.

Voltage is another key difference. Nicaragua uses 120V while Guinea-Bissau uses 220V. If your device only supports one voltage, using it with the wrong supply could cause overheating or permanent damage. Look for "Input: 100-240V" on your charger. Most modern phone and laptop chargers support this range.

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. Nicaragua uses Type A/B plugs and Guinea-Bissau uses Type C. Since these are incompatible, you will need a travel adapter.
