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

Traveling from Venezuela to Sao Tome and Principe means crossing into a different electrical system. Before you leave, take a moment to understand the plug types and voltage used in Sao Tome and Principe so you can keep all your devices charged and ready.

There's no plug compatibility between Venezuela and Sao Tome and Principe. Venezuela devices use Type A/B connectors, while Sao Tome and Principe sockets are Type C/F. An adapter is a must-have for this destination.

Voltage is another key difference. Venezuela uses 120V while Sao Tome and Principe uses 230V. If your device only supports one voltage, using it with the wrong supply could cause overheating or permanent damage. Look for "Input: 100-240V" on your charger. Most modern phone and laptop chargers support this range.

Most modern phone chargers, laptop adapters, and camera chargers are designed to handle 100-240V input, so they'll work anywhere with just a plug adapter. Heat-producing appliances like hair dryers and flat irons are often single-voltage, so check before you plug them in abroad.
