Make sure to get a power adapter for outlets of type A and B. 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). Since you also need an international power (voltage) converter to keep your devices protected (more info further down), getting a combo power adapter/converter might be the best solution.

Do I need a voltage converter for Venezuela?

Venezuela uses 120 V at 60 Hz, while Singapore operates on 230 V at 50 Hz. This voltage and frequency difference can affect your devices if they are not designed to handle both standards, potentially causing damage or malfunction.

A voltage converter is necessary to safeguard your devices in Venezuela.
Look for a voltage converter that can adjust the frequency as well.

A voltage converter keeps your electrical devices from Venezuela running properly by adjusting the power to the right voltage. Without it, your devices could overheat or get damaged from the wrong power supply. Since you need a travel adapter as well, a combo power (voltage) converter with adapter features might be a good choice.

Please note: If your voltage converter can't switch the frequency, it’s safer not to use your electronics. Proceeding without caution could lead to issues, especially with devices that rely on precise timing or motors, like hair dryers, electric razors, kitchen appliances, and health-related equipment such as blood pressure monitors. These kinds of electronics are more vulnerable to damage or malfunction when the frequency is off. If you choose to use them anyway, be extremely cautious and always check the specifications first.

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 Venezuela. 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 Singaporean hair dryer in Venezuela?

No, you will need a voltage converter. Singapore uses 230 V, while Venezuela uses 120 V, and the frequency difference (Singapore's 50 Hz vs. Venezuela's 60 Hz) may also affect the motor in your hair dryer. Without a converter, the device could malfunction or not work properly.

Can I use my Singaporean laptop or smartphone in Venezuela?

Yes, most laptops and smartphones are designed to work with a voltage range of 100-240V, so they will work in Venezuela without a voltage converter.

Can I use my Singaporean curling iron or hair straightener in Venezuela?

No, you will need a voltage converter to use your Singaporean curling or flat iron in Venezuela due to the lower voltage (230 V vs. 120 V). The frequency difference (60 Hz in Venezuela) may also cause performance issues, such as uneven heating. A voltage converter is required to safely use the device.

If I live in Singapore, do I need a power plug adapter in Venezuela?

Yes, when traveling from Singapore, you will need a power adapter for type A and B power outlets in Venezuela.

Do I need a voltage converter for Venezuela when traveling from Singapore?

Yes, you will need a voltage converter for devices that are designed to work with 120 V. Singapore operates on 230 V, and the different frequency (60 Hz) may also affect some devices with motors or timers. However, modern devices like laptops and smartphones that support 100-240V won’t require a converter.

Traveling to more countries?

See if your power plugs from Singapore fit into the sockets of other destinations and whether you need a voltage converter.
