Samoa to Congo (Congo-Kinshasa): Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Heading from Samoa to Congo (Congo-Kinshasa)? 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 Samoa plugs (Type I) won't fit Congo (Congo-Kinshasa)'s outlets (Type C, D, E). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for Congo (Congo-Kinshasa) before you depart.

The voltage and frequency in Congo (Congo-Kinshasa) (220V, 50Hz) are close to Samoa (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. Samoa uses Type I plugs and Congo (Congo-Kinshasa) uses Type C/D/E. Since these are incompatible, you will need a travel adapter.
