Samoa to North Korea: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Heading from Samoa to North Korea? 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 North Korea's outlets (Type C). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for North Korea before you depart.

The voltage and frequency in North Korea (220V, 50Hz) are close to Samoa (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Rather than packing bulky converters, consider buying travel-sized dual-voltage versions of appliances you can't live without. For phones and laptops, all you'll need is the right plug adapter since their chargers almost always support worldwide voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Samoa uses Type I plugs and North Korea uses Type C. Since these are incompatible, you will need a travel adapter.
