Make sure to get a power adapter for outlets of type A, B, D and G. If you often go abroad, consider getting an all-in-one adapter (most adapters even have additional charging ports for USB-A and USB-C).

There is no need for a voltage converter in Guyana, when traveling from Germany.
Pay attention to the frequency difference.

To confirm, check if your devices require a voltage converter by looking at the 'INPUT' label, typically found on the power adapter or charger. If the label shows "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz," the device is built to handle different voltage and frequency ranges, meaning you’ll only need a plug adapter for the outlets in Guyana. This is typical for devices such as notebooks, smartphones, digital cameras, and also for tablets, e-readers, and some battery chargers.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my German hair dryer in Guyana?

Yes, you can use your German hair dryer in Guyana since the voltages are compatible (230 V and 240 V). However, due to the difference in frequency (50 Hz in Germany, 60Hz in Guyana), the motor might run slightly differently. The hair dryer could heat up faster or slower but should still work. You do not need a voltage converter.

Can I use my German laptop or smartphone in Guyana?

Yes, your German laptop or smartphone will work in Guyana. Modern laptops and smartphones are designed to handle both 50 Hz and 60 Hz frequencies, so the frequency difference won’t be an issue.

Can I use my German curling iron or hair straightener in Guyana?

Yes, you should be able to use your German curling iron or flat iron in Guyana, as the voltage (230 V) is compatible. However, the difference in frequency (60 Hz in Guyana) could cause slight changes in performance. In most cases, the device should work, and a voltage converter is likely unnecessary. However, always make sure to check the label to verify compatibility with local standards.

If I live in Germany, do I need a power plug adapter in Guyana?
