Electricity and sockets
You will need an adapter for Types C, E, F and I. Plugs from the UK do not fit the sockets in Timor-Leste.
Sockets at the destination
Types C, E, F and I, 230 V, 50 Hz – those are the basics for electricity in Timor-Leste. A converter can stay at home; Timor-Leste supplies 230 V.
Watch out when moving on: Taiwan, Brunei and Bahrain use a completely different system. In Asia, 1 of 50 recorded destinations use exactly this combination.
Protective earth
Mixed supply: Type C without earth, Types E, F and I with earth. Which one is in your room only shows on arrival.
