Can I use my devices in Brazil?

- OKAY Phone, tablet, camera chargers and power banks can usually be used safely with the correct plug or adapter.
- OKAY Laptops, game consoles and monitors do not need a voltage converter here, because voltage and frequency are compatible.
- OKAY Single-voltage devices, including many hair dryers, straighteners and kettles, do not need a voltage converter here because the local power standard matches your home standard.
Brazil is a country of extraordinary scale, from the beaches of Rio and the Amazon basin to the Pantanal wetlands and the vibrant culture of Salvador and São Paulo. The warmth of Brazilian hospitality tends to leave a lasting impression.
There, the main plug types C and N are used and the standard supply is 127 V at 60 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.
Tip Brazil uses type N sockets as its modern standard, but older type C outlets are still common. More importantly, voltage varies by region and sometimes by building: São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro typically use 127V, while Brasília and the northeast commonly run on 220V. Always check the local voltage before plugging in single-voltage devices.
