Power Plug Guide

What plug is used in Taiwan?

In Taiwan, the standard power plug is Type A and Type B. The country runs on 110 volts at 60 Hz. That means wall sockets in Taiwan can be one of 2 different shapes — Type A, Type B, and your plug needs to physically match the socket to fit.

Plug types used in Taiwan

Type A Two flat parallel pins 100–127V Type B Two flat pins + round ground 100–127V

Travel adapters for Taiwan

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 Taiwan runs on the lower 110 V range, travelers from 220–240 V regions (Europe, the UK, Australia, most of Asia) usually do not need a voltage converter for low-power electronics. Hair dryers, curling irons, and kettles brought from a 220 V country, however, will run weakly or not at all here. 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 Taiwan use?

Taiwan uses Type A and Type B plugs and runs at 110 volts, 60 Hz.

Do I need a travel adapter for Taiwan?

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 Taiwan?

Mains voltage in Taiwan is 110 V at 60 Hz.

Can I use my phone or laptop charger in Taiwan?

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