Switzerland to Guinea-Bissau: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Whether it's a business trip or a vacation, traveling from Switzerland to Guinea-Bissau requires a quick check on power compatibility. The last thing you want is to arrive and discover your charger doesn't fit the outlets.

Good news: Switzerland and Guinea-Bissau share compatible plug types (Type C). Your existing plugs should fit directly into Guinea-Bissau's outlets without any adapter needed.

On the voltage front, Switzerland (230V, 50Hz) and Guinea-Bissau (220V, 50Hz) are very similar. You shouldn't need a voltage converter for your electronics.

Don't forget that Guinea-Bissau 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.
