Do You Need a Travel Adapter for Trinidad and Tobago?

Trinidad and Tobago uses plug types that may be compatible with your devices, but we still recommend carrying a universal travel adapter for convenience.

Voltage Converter vs. Plug Adapter

It's important to understand the difference: a plug adapter only changes the physical shape of your plug to fit Trinidad and Tobago's outlets, while a voltage converter actually changes the electrical current. Trinidad and Tobago's 115V is compatible with most devices.
