Travel adapter from South Korea to Timor-Leste
No Adapter Needed
You will not need a plug adapter — South Korea and Timor-Leste share at least one common plug shape (Type C, Type F). 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.
