Can I use my devices in Singapore?
The local supply in Singapore is 230 V / 50 Hz. Most modern chargers for phones, laptops, cameras are dual voltage and work worldwide as long as the plug fits the socket.
- OKAY Phone, tablet, camera chargers and power banks usually support 100–240 V and can be used safely with the correct plug or adapter.
- CAUTION Laptops, game consoles and monitors often work worldwide, but always check the voltage range (100–240 V) on the power brick before plugging in.
- AVOID Single-voltage devices with heating elements (hair dryers, straighteners, kettles) can be problematic if their rated voltage does not match the local supply of 230 V.
Singapore is a compact and remarkably efficient city-state with world-class food, a vibrant waterfront, Gardens by the Bay and easy connections to the rest of Southeast Asia. It makes an excellent base or entry point for regional travel.
There, the main plug types C, G and M are used and the standard supply is 230 V at 50 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.
Tip Singapore uses type G three-pin sockets, the same as the UK and Malaysia. Many sockets have individual switches that need to be on before power flows. If your device is not charging, the switch beside the outlet is the first thing to check.
