The Republic of Timor-Leste is a country on the island of Timor in Southeast Asia.
You may be planning a trip there. You may want to experience the culture, the food, or to study something. However, you should know that East Timor uses electrical plugs that are shaped differently from the ones you are used to in the United States. You might be planning to bring some of your electronics to East Timor , but American-style plugs are not used at all in East Timor . There are six different types of plugs that are used around the world, and most countries outside North and South America use the common three-cylindrical-pronged design. East Timor uses this model, but also three other types of plugs. But you do not need to buy new electronics in East Timor in order to use any electronics there. You simply need plug adapters. Purchase all of the types that you will need in East Timor , and be sure to buy the correct kind, keeping in mind there are six total plug types, and East Timor uses four of those.
Most places outside of North America also use a higher voltage current. 110v is the voltage used by North America and most of Central and South America. However, in most other continents, 220v is used. In countries where 220v is used, it is important to bring a voltage converter that has a 25% higher wattage rating than the appliance you are using it for. In East Timor , the voltage used is 220v, the most commonly used voltage. So if you are going to East Timor , be sure to also get a voltage converter. This does not apply if you are bringing dual-voltage appliances. However, single-volt appliances will need a voltage converter. The wattage should be indicated on the indication panel of the devices. If not, multiply the voltage by the amp. Then you can buy the correct voltage converters for your selected appliances.
