Vanuatu to Guinea-Bissau: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed
Heading from Vanuatu to Guinea-Bissau? 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 Vanuatu plugs (Type I) won't fit Guinea-Bissau's outlets (Type C). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for Guinea-Bissau before you depart.
The voltage and frequency in Guinea-Bissau (220V, 50Hz) are close to Vanuatu (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.
When packing for Guinea-Bissau, bring at least one adapter per room if you're traveling with others. Airport shops often sell them at a markup, so ordering one online beforehand saves money. A small power strip from home can also multiply a single adapter into several outlets.
