Do you need a travel adapter for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines?
It depends on where your plugs come from.
🇺🇸 From the United States
Some plugs from the United States fit the Type A, C, E, G, I and K sockets in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and some don't, so pack an adapter. A Type C (Europlug) adapter fits 3 of the 6 listed socket families there. For grounded devices, get a Type E (French / Schuko hybrid) adapter for a compatible grounded outlet instead; it does not fit every listed outlet. Socket variants can differ; check the actual outlet and adapter rating.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines uses 230 V, much higher than the 120 V in the United States. An input rating of "100–240V" covers the listed supply voltage; you still need a suitable plug or adapter. For single-voltage devices, follow the manufacturer's guidance on conversion; using a suitable local device may be simpler.
