In Bali and Indonesia, the common type of electric socket is Type C, which has two round pins. However

Standard Voltage in Bali

The Voltage is in Indonesia and Bali is 230V.

• Voltage: 230 V
• Frequency: 50 Hz
• Power sockets: type C / F

If your country’s normal voltage is between 220V and 240V, you may use your electric appliances in Indonesia and, of course, Bali. Most countries use a voltage of 220-230V. Read your appliance’s user guide to ensure that it will operate in Bali. You can also  look at the label on your device. The voltage and frequency will be shown. If it states ‘INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz,’ it may be used in any country. This is most often seen with chargers for tablets/laptops, digital cameras, mobile phones, and shaving machines. Be careful when charging electric toothbrushes  (a USB charger connected to your laptop is the safest method).

It is not recommended to operate your appliance if your country’s frequency differs from that of Indonesia (50 Hz). Watch out for moving, spinning, and time-related gadgets like clocks and electric fan heaters.

Countries & Regions that need to bring a travel adapter:

If you come from Australia, Japan, USA, Malaysia, UK, Canada, Singapore, and some countries in Africa you will most likely simply need a plug adapter otherwise the plugs for your electrical appliances will not fit into the “Bali Socket”, although the voltage should be o.k.

While power outages can occur occasionally, they are not overly common in Bali anymore. Most hotels do have a back-up generator. However, it’s always a good idea to be prepared and carry a portable power bank for essential devices. If there is construction work going on nearby, it could take 2-3 hours to restore power. International chain hotels like Marriott usually do have back up generators that switch on automatically.

Voltage Fluctuations

The voltage can fluctuate quite a bit in Bali, depending on where you stay. Some hotels have load balancers to soften the fluctuations which can cause damage to very sensitive electrical equipment.

Yes, Australian and New Zealand plugs do not fit into Bali’s sockets, so an adapter is needed.

No, Australia uses Type I plugs, which are not compatible with Bali’s Type C and Type F sockets.

Bali primarily uses Type C and Type F sockets.

Australian and New Zealand travelers should bring a plug adapter to convert to Type C or Type F.

Yes, Australia and New Zealand both use 230-240V, so voltage conversion is not needed. Only a plug adapter is required.

Bali uses Type C and Type F power outlets, which have two round pins.

Yes, travelers from the US and Canada will need a power adapter as their plugs do not match Bali’s sockets.

You will need a plug adapter that converts US or Canadian plugs to Type C or Type F.

US electronics typically run on 110V, while Bali uses 230V. If your device is not dual voltage, you will need a voltage converter.

Bali operates on 230V with a frequency of 50Hz.

Bali primarily uses Type C and Type F sockets, similar to those found in mainland Europe.

No, UK plugs (Type G) do not fit in Bali’s sockets. Travelers from the UK will need an adapter.

UK travelers need a plug adapter for Type C or Type F sockets.

If your devices are rated for 220-240V, they will work in Bali with just a plug adapter.

Most European travelers do not need an adapter, as Type C and Type F plugs are commonly used in Bali.

You need an adapter that converts your country’s plug type to Type C or Type F.

Bali operates on 230V and 50Hz.

If your hair dryer or straightener is dual voltage (110-240V), it will work with just a plug adapter. Otherwise, you will need a voltage converter.

Only if your devices do not support 230V. Most modern electronics like phone chargers and laptops are dual voltage.

Yes, you can buy them at convenience stores, supermarkets, and electronics shops.

You can bring any electronics that support 230V or have a universal voltage range (100-240V).

Adapters are available at Bali’s airports, major supermarkets, and electronics shops.

Yes, it is safe, but voltage fluctuations can occur. Using a surge protector is recommended.

Type C sockets in Bali are compatible with most European plugs.

Type F plugs have two round pins with two earth clips on the side.

Bali’s electrical standard is 230V, 50Hz. Devices from North America (110V) will need a voltage converter.

A universal adapter with Type C and Type F support is ideal for Bali.

Bali follows Indonesia’s standard of 230V, 50Hz, using Type C and Type F sockets.
