Papua New Guinea to North Korea: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
Planning a trip from Papua New Guinea to North Korea? One of the first things to sort out before you travel is whether your electronics will work at your destination. Power outlets, plug shapes, and voltage standards vary around the world, and North Korea is no exception.
The plug types are different between these two countries. In Papua New Guinea, outlets accept Type I, but in North Korea you'll find Type C sockets. A travel plug adapter is essential for this trip.
On the voltage front, Papua New Guinea (240V, 50Hz) and North Korea (220V, 50Hz) are very similar. You shouldn't need a voltage converter for your electronics.
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.
