Frequently asked questions

What plug type is used in Bangladesh?

Bangladesh uses plug types A, C, D, G and K. The most common is type D – the Old British round-pin plug (5 A).

What is the voltage in Bangladesh?

The mains voltage in Bangladesh is 220 V and the frequency is 50 Hz. Devices from countries with 220–240 V work without a converter. Devices from countries with 100–127 V (USA, Canada, Japan) should only be plugged in if the power supply says 100–240 V.

Do I need a travel adapter for Bangladesh?

You need an adapter if your devices have plugs other than types A, C, D, G and K. You won’t need one if you’re coming from United Kingdom. Only some plugs fit for travellers from Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Poland and United States. Travellers from Australia need an adapter to type D.

Do I need a voltage converter in Bangladesh?

Not if you’re coming from Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Poland and United Kingdom – the voltage is similar. If you bring devices from Canada, Japan and United States, check their rating labels. Phone and laptop chargers usually work on 100–240 V, but hair dryers, straighteners and kettles often do not – those need a voltage converter.
