Do I need an adapter from Germany to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines?
Last reviewed · sourced from IEC TC 23 and national electricity standards
Your answer: Germany → Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Plug adapter
Adapter required
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines uses Type A, B, G; your Germany plug (Type C, F) doesn't fit. Pack a Type A/B/G adapter — or a universal one if you travel often.
Voltage converter
Not needed
Both countries run on 230V at 50Hz. Your devices work as-is.

What this means for your trip
Going from Germany to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines you'll need a plug adapter, but voltage is identical on both sides, so that's one less thing to worry about.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines uses Type A/B/G outlets; Germany uses Type C/F. The shapes are incompatible, so every plug you bring needs a Type A/B/G adapter to reach the socket. The cheapest option is a simple shape-only adapter for that one country; if you travel often, a universal adapter (fits every country) pays for itself in a single trip.
Voltage is the same on both ends (230V vs 230V, 50Hz vs 50Hz), so every charger that works at home works in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines without modification. No voltage converter, no hunting for "100-240V" on the brick.
Frequently asked
Do I need a travel adapter for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines from Germany?
Yes. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines uses Type A/B/G outlets, which don't accept Germany's Type C/F plugs. Pack a Type A/B/G adapter — or a universal one if you travel often.
What type of plug does Saint Vincent and the Grenadines use?
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines uses Type A and Type B and Type G outlets at 230V, 50Hz. Two flat parallel pins. Common in North America, Central America, and Japan.
What's the voltage in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines?
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines runs on 230V at 50Hz. That's on the high-voltage standard, matching than Germany's 230V supply. Most modern phones, laptops, tablets, and camera chargers are dual-voltage (check for "100-240V" on the brick) and work on either. Single-voltage devices like hair dryers, curling irons, and travel kettles will not — bring a dual-voltage travel version or a voltage converter.
Are Germany chargers dual-voltage?
Most — but not all. Check the charger brick for a line that reads something like "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60Hz." If you see that, the charger works on either voltage standard and you only need a plug adapter. If it lists just "120V" (or just "230V"), it's single-voltage and can't be plugged straight into the other side without a voltage converter.
