Papua New Guinea to Bolivia: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Heading from Papua New Guinea to Bolivia? 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.

Papua New Guinea uses Type I plugs, while Bolivia uses Type A and C. 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 Bolivia (230V, 50Hz) are close to Papua New Guinea (240V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Don't forget that Bolivia 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

Yes. Papua New Guinea uses Type I plugs and Bolivia uses Type A/C. Since these are incompatible, you will need a travel adapter.
