Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
In Montserrat, the power supply operates on a different voltage than the U.S. standard of 120V, so a voltage converter is likely required for your devices to work properly.
To be on the safe side, always check the voltage rating of your device before using it overseas. If the label reads “100-240V, 50/60 Hz”, it works worldwide without a converter. This is common for tablets, laptops, cameras, and personal care devices.

More About Montserrat
Montserrat is nicknamed the “Emerald Isle of the Caribbean” for its lush hills and Irish roots. It’s one of the few places where you’ll hear calypso music and see shamrocks in the same week. The southern half of the island is off-limits due to the Soufrière Hills volcano, which erupted in the ’90s and buried the old capital, Plymouth. You can still see the ruins—part ghost town, part modern Pompeii.
The beaches here are wild and different—expect dark volcanic sand instead of postcard white. There’s a peaceful, untouched feel to the island, with friendly locals and a slow pace that’s perfect for travelers who just want to unplug and breathe.
