Can I use my devices in Pakistan?
The local supply in Pakistan is 230 V / 50 Hz. Most modern chargers for phones, laptops, cameras are dual voltage and work worldwide as long as the plug fits the socket.
- OKAY Phone, tablet, camera chargers and power banks usually support 100–240 V and can be used safely with the correct plug or adapter.
- CAUTION Laptops, game consoles and monitors often work worldwide, but always check the voltage range (100–240 V) on the power brick before plugging in.
- AVOID Single-voltage devices with heating elements (hair dryers, straighteners, kettles) can be problematic if their rated voltage does not match the local supply of 230 V.
Pakistan is a country of surprising travel depth, with the ancient Indus Valley sites of Mohenjo-daro, the Karakoram Highway through some of the world's highest mountains and the vibrant street life of Lahore and Karachi.
There, the main plug types C, D, G and M are used and the standard supply is 230 V at 50 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 Voltage fluctuations and load-shedding power cuts can occur, particularly outside major cities. A surge-protected adapter is worth using for laptops and cameras, and it is wise to charge important devices fully whenever power is available rather than waiting until the battery runs low.
