Travel adapter from Cape Verde to Saint Kitts and Nevis
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from Cape Verde, you will need a travel adapter for Saint Kitts and Nevis. Cape Verde uses Type C/Type F plugs, and Saint Kitts and Nevis uses Type A/Type B/Type G, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. The mains frequency is also different (50 Hz vs 60 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
