Afghanistan to United Kingdom: Do You Need a Plug Adapter? Adapter Needed

Yes. Plugs from Afghanistan (Type C and Type F) don't fit the sockets in United Kingdom (Type G), so you need a travel adapter.

• Type C (two round pins (the "Europlug")): doesn't fit sockets in United Kingdom. You need an adapter.
• Type F (two round pins with grounding clips on the sides ("Schuko")): doesn't fit sockets in United Kingdom. You need an adapter.

Voltage

United Kingdom uses 230V, compared with 220V in Afghanistan. That is within the same range, so your devices will work without a voltage converter.

What to pack

Look for an adapter that accepts Type C and Type F plugs and fits Type G sockets. An adapter only changes the plug shape, not the voltage.

Good to know about United Kingdom

UK sockets usually have their own on/off switch, so make sure it is switched on.
