Which sockets are used in Fiji?

In Fiji, type I sockets are used. This type has angled flat pins and is also found in countries such as Australia and parts of Oceania. For Dutch travellers this is not a compatible socket type.

If you're looking for more explanation about this type of connection, the page about travel adapter type I is also relevant. It quickly shows you why you really need an adapter for Fiji when departing from the Netherlands.

Do you need a travel adapter in Fiji?

Yes, in Fiji you need a travel adapter. Dutch type C and F plugs do not fit into type I sockets. So without an adapter you cannot directly connect your chargers and devices.

That's exactly why a universal travel adapter or travel adapter for Fiji is the safest choice. Especially if you stay on different islands or want to use your devices right after arrival, you don't want to depend on local solutions.

Do Dutch plugs fit in Fiji?

No, Dutch plugs normally don't fit in Fiji. In the Netherlands you mostly use plug type C and F, while in Fiji type I is the standard. That means you cannot use your devices directly without an adapter.

This makes Fiji a destination for which you really need to think about your power supply in advance. Especially on a long trip, it's nice not to have to search for a suitable adapter once you're there.

Do you need a voltage converter in Fiji?

Usually not. Fiji uses 240 volts at 50 Hz. That's close to the Dutch standard of 230 volts at 50 Hz. For many modern devices, such as phones, laptops and camera chargers, that's no problem, certainly not if the label states they are suitable for 100-240V and 50/60Hz.

It remains wise to check the label of your device before you leave. Especially with older or single-voltage devices, it's smart to be sure they are suitable for use on 240 volts.

Which travel adapter is best for Fiji?

For Fiji a universal travel adapter is usually the handiest choice. With it you're prepared for type I and you can often get by in other countries that use the same plug shape. That's especially handy if you travel long distances more often and prefer to bring one flexible solution.

If you travel more often to destinations with type I, pages such as travel adapter Australia, travel adapter Argentina and travel adapter China can also be relevant when you combine multiple destinations.
