Do you need a travel adapter for Timor-Leste?

It depends on where your plugs come from.

🇺🇸 From the United States

You need a plug adapter. Plugs from the United States (Type A and B) don't fit the Type C, E, F and I sockets in Timor-Leste. A Type C (Europlug) adapter fits 3 of the 4 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.

Timor-Leste uses 220 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.

🇬🇧 From the United Kingdom

You need a plug adapter. Plugs from the United Kingdom (Type G) don't fit the Type C, E, F and I sockets in Timor-Leste. A Type C (Europlug) adapter fits 3 of the 4 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.

Timor-Leste uses 220 V and the United Kingdom uses 230 V, but similar nominal voltages do not guarantee compatibility. Check that your device's input rating covers the destination supply.

Will your devices work in Timor-Leste?

Sockets in Timor-Leste supply 220 V. Find the "input" line on each device or its charger. An input rating of "100–240V" covers the listed supply voltage; you still need a suitable plug or adapter. Check that the input frequency also covers 50 Hz. An adapter changes the plug shape, not the voltage or frequency. For switchable devices, follow the manufacturer's instructions before plugging in.

  • Often rated 100–240 V; confirm on the charger: phone charger, laptop charger, camera battery charger.

  • Check the label first: electric toothbrush, electric shaver, CPAP machine, hair straightener / curler.

  • Usually single voltage: hair dryer, kettle / coffee maker, anything with a heating element.
