Sao Tome and Principe to Chile: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

If you're heading to Chile from Sao Tome and Principe, it's worth checking the power situation before you pack. Different countries use different outlet types and electrical standards, so your devices may not plug in directly when you arrive.

Good news: Sao Tome and Principe and Chile share compatible plug types (Type C). Your existing plugs should fit directly into Chile's outlets without any adapter needed.

The voltage and frequency in Chile (220V, 50Hz) are close to Sao Tome and Principe (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Don't forget that Chile 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
