No adapter with you and already abroad? You’re not out of options—many airports and local shops sell them. Still, bringing your own is the easiest way to avoid overpaying or ending up with something that barely works.
Bali travelers often continue on to nearby countries like Malaysia, the Philippines, or Singapore. Not all countries use the same plugs.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You’ll probably need a voltage converter in Bali since your device’s voltage has to match the local power supply. In the U.S., we use 120V, but Bali operates on a different voltage, so a converter is required.
Before plugging in your device while traveling, always check your device’s voltage label. If it says “100-240V, 50/60 Hz”, your device will work in most countries without the need for a voltage converter. This is common for modern electronics like laptops, tablets, and rechargeable devices.
