Frequently asked questions

What plug type is used in Guyana?

Guyana uses plug types A, B, D and G. The most common is type B – the North American three-prong plug. Both 240 V and 110–120 V outlets are in use, sometimes in the same building.

What is the voltage in Guyana?

The mains voltage in Guyana is 240 V and the frequency is 60 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 Guyana?

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

Do I need a voltage converter in Guyana?

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.
