Do You Need a Travel Adapter for Guyana?
Guyana uses Type A and Type B sockets at 110 V / 220 V, 50 / 60 Hz.
Guyana is unusual: the national utility supplies either 110 V or 220 V depending on the area, and both 50 Hz and 60 Hz exist on its grid. Check the socket label before plugging in anything single-voltage. Sockets are mostly Type A/B; Type D and G are also reported.

Frequently asked questions
What plug does Guyana use?
Guyana uses Type A and Type B sockets. Type A: two flat parallel pins. Type B: two flat parallel pins and a round earth pin. Type D and G sockets are also reported occasionally.
What is the voltage in Guyana?
Guyana runs on 110 V / 220 V at 50 / 60 Hz. Both voltages are in use, so check the socket or ask before plugging in a single-voltage appliance. Both frequencies are in use depending on the region.
Can I charge my iPhone or laptop in Guyana?
Yes. Phones, laptops and USB chargers are dual voltage (100–240 V) so the voltage is fine anywhere; US-style Type A plugs fit Guyana's sockets, so US travellers need no adapter at all. Everyone else needs a Type A adapter.
Do I need a voltage converter for Guyana?
Possibly. Guyana has both 110 V and 220 V supplies. Dual-voltage devices are fine everywhere; single-voltage hair dryers and appliances need a converter on the wrong supply. Check the label on the socket.
