Travel adapter from Dominican Republic to Myanmar

Compare the plug shapes, voltage and frequency in Dominican Republic and Myanmar, and find out which adapter you need before you travel.

No adapter needed

You will not need a plug adapter — Dominican Republic and Myanmar share at least one common plug shape (Type A, Type B). Voltages differ (120 V at home vs 230 V abroad), so check the label on each device. Most modern dual-voltage chargers handle the swing without a converter, but heating appliances usually do not. The mains frequency is also different (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.

Voltage converter may be needed. Check your device label — most modern electronics (phones, laptops) support 100–240 V and only need a plug adapter. Hair dryers, kettles, and older appliances may need a step-up or step-down converter.
Frequency differs (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). Rarely an issue for most electronics, but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
