Checking plug and voltage compatibility
Power adapter compatibility check for traveling from United Kingdom to Colombia
You'll need a plug adapter (G to A/B). β Voltage is compatible (230V β 110V). Note: Frequency differs (50Hz β 60Hz) - usually fine for modern devices
United Kingdom
230V
Colombia
110V
No. Your Type G plugs from United Kingdom will not fit Colombia's sockets. You'll need a travel adapter.
The voltage in Colombia is 110V. This is lower than United Kingdom's 230V. Your devices may work at reduced power.
No, you don't need a voltage converter. The voltage difference (230V to 110V) is safe for most modern devices, especially laptops, phones, and chargers which typically support 100-240V dual voltage.
Colombia uses Type A, B sockets. You will see these socket types in hotels, airports, and public places throughout the country.
Yes, most modern electronics (iPhones, laptops, tablets, cameras) are dual-voltage (110V-240V), so they will work in Colombia. Since Colombia uses 110V (within the 100-240V range), your device will work fine. You'll need a plug adapter to fit the wall socket.
You can buy a Type A travel adapter online (Amazon, eBay) or at the airport. Look for adapters specifically designed for Colombia or universal adapters that include Type A. Check our Amazon link above for the best options.
If you don't use an adapter, your plug physically won't fit into Colombia's sockets. Additionally, if the voltage is different (230V vs 110V) and your device isn't dual-voltage, you could permanently damage your device or cause a fire hazard. Always use the appropriate adapter and check voltage compatibility.
