Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Traveling to Venezuela? No worries about voltage converters—the voltage is nearly identical to the U.S., so your electronics should work without any issues.
Always make sure to check the input voltage label on your device before using it overseas. If it states “100-240V, 50/60 Hz”, your device supports multiple power systems and won’t need a converter. Most phones, laptops, tablets, and personal care electronics fall into this category.
