Where are you travelling from?

Pick your home country to see if your plugs fit in Antigua and Barbuda.

Travel adapters for Antigua and Barbuda

Most modern phones, laptops, cameras, and tablets are rated for 100–240 V, so you only need a simple plug-shape adapter when the voltage matches what your charger supports. Because Antigua and Barbuda runs at the higher 110/220 V range, travelers from the United States, Canada, or Japan must check the label on each device. Anything marked “120 V only” will be destroyed if plugged in without a step-down voltage converter. For a Type A/Type B socket, a universal travel adapter or a region-specific adapter is enough for chargers that handle dual voltage.

Frequently asked questions

What plug does Antigua and Barbuda use?

Antigua and Barbuda uses Type A and Type B plugs and runs at 110/220 volts, 60 Hz.

Do I need a travel adapter for Antigua and Barbuda?

Yes, if your home country does not use Type A and Type B. Most modern phone and laptop chargers handle 100–240 V, so a simple plug-shape adapter is enough.

What voltage is used in Antigua and Barbuda?

Can I use my phone or laptop charger in Antigua and Barbuda?

Almost always yes. Modern phone, laptop, tablet and camera chargers are dual-voltage (rated 100–240 V), so they handle Antigua and Barbuda's 110/220 V automatically. You only need a plug-shape adapter, not a voltage converter. Check the small print on the charger to confirm.
