Brunei uses plug type G. The most common is type G – the British plug.
The mains voltage in Brunei is 240 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.
You need an adapter if your devices have plugs other than type G. You won’t need one if you’re coming from United Kingdom. Travellers from Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Poland and United States need an adapter to type G.
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.
