Your answer: Ireland → Timor-Leste
Plug adapter
Adapter required
Timor-Leste uses Type C, E, F, I; your Ireland plug (Type G) doesn't fit. Pack a Type C/E/F/I 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 Ireland to Timor-Leste you'll need a plug adapter, but voltage is identical on both sides, so that's one less thing to worry about.
Timor-Leste uses Type C/E/F/I outlets; Ireland uses Type G. The shapes are incompatible, so every plug you bring needs a Type C/E/F/I 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 Timor-Leste without modification. No voltage converter, no hunting for "100-240V" on the brick.
Frequently asked
Do I need a travel adapter for Timor-Leste from Ireland?
Yes. Timor-Leste uses Type C/E/F/I outlets, which don't accept Ireland's Type G plugs. Pack a Type C/E/F/I adapter — or a universal one if you travel often.
What type of plug does Timor-Leste use?
Timor-Leste uses Type C and Type E and Type F and Type I outlets at 230V, 50Hz. Two round pins. Widespread across Europe, South America, and parts of Asia.
What's the voltage in Timor-Leste?
Timor-Leste runs on 230V at 50Hz. That's on the high-voltage standard, matching than Ireland'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 Ireland 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.
