Vanuatu to Samoa: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) No Adapter Needed

If you're heading to Samoa from Vanuatu, 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: Vanuatu and Samoa share compatible plug types (Type I). Your existing plugs should fit directly into Samoa's outlets without any adapter needed.

The voltage and frequency in Samoa (230V, 50Hz) are the same as Vanuatu (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Don't forget that Samoa 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
