Singapore outlet FAQ
Can I charge my phone in Singapore without a converter?
Yes. Phone and laptop chargers are dual-voltage (100–240V) — you only need a plug adapter (Type G).
Is 230V dangerous for US devices?
Only for single-voltage (120V-only) devices like hair dryers — those need a voltage converter. Dual-voltage gear is fine on an adapter.
What plug type does Singapore use?
Singapore uses Type G sockets at 230V / 50Hz.
