Travel adapter from Jamaica to Samoa
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from Jamaica, you will need a travel adapter for Samoa. Jamaica uses Type A/Type B plugs, and Samoa uses Type I, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. Voltages differ (110 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.
