Do you need a travel adapter for Singapore?

Yes, always.

Singapore uses type G sockets nationwide. This British plug has three rectangular pins in a triangular shape: two horizontal pins at the bottom and one vertical earth pin at the top. This type is completely different from the Dutch type C and F plugs and therefore does not fit without an adapter.

A travel adapter for Singapore is essential when you:

• bring Dutch chargers or electrical appliances
• stay in hotels, hostels, serviced apartments or Airbnbs
• make a stopover on the way to other Asian countries
• want to avoid having no power on arrival

Which socket type does Singapore have?

Singapore uses exclusively plug type G, the same type as in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Malta and Malaysia. If you combine your trip with one of these countries, one adapter is enough.

You recognise the type G socket by:

• three rectangular pins in a triangular shape
• two horizontal pins at the bottom for live and neutral
• one vertical earth pin at the top
• built-in safety shutters that only open once the earth pin is inserted

There are no regional differences within Singapore. Whether you stay in Marina Bay, Orchard Road, Sentosa or a hotel in Chinatown, you encounter the same type of socket everywhere.

Which travel adapter for Singapore is best?

The best choice depends on how often you travel and what you bring.

For a one-off trip to Singapore, a simple type G adapter is sufficient. With it you convert your Dutch plug to the right format.

For travellers who visit multiple countries, a universal travel adapter is the smarter choice. If you combine Singapore with, for example, Malaysia (also type G), Thailand (type A and C), Indonesia (type C and F) or Hong Kong (type G), you come across different sockets. The Remodius Universal Travel Adapter works in Singapore and in 220+ other countries, with multiple USB ports so you can charge your phone, laptop and camera at the same time.

When choosing a travel adapter for Singapore, look for:

• support for type G sockets
• sturdy and grounded housing
• built-in USB and USB-C ports
• compact size for hand luggage
• enough power for laptops and larger appliances

Power and voltage in Singapore

The power supply in Singapore is the same as in the Netherlands.

• Voltage: 230 volts
• Frequency: 50 Hz
• Compatible with Dutch appliances: yes

So you do not need a voltage converter. A travel adapter for Singapore is sufficient. Your phone, laptop, camera and other devices work without any problems.

When is a travel adapter for Singapore indispensable?

An adapter is indispensable in Singapore when using:

• phone and laptop chargers
• camera and GoPro chargers
• electric toothbrushes
• power banks and portable batteries
• hair dryers and straighteners
• portable monitors for remote work

Especially if you use Singapore as a starting point or stopover for a round trip through Asia, a reliable travel adapter is indispensable. Many travellers stay a few days in Singapore and then travel on to countries with other plug types, so a universal travel adapter saves you from carrying several adapters.
