Afghanistan Travel Adapters
Quick facts: Afghanistan is a landlocked country in South and Central Asia, bordering Pakistan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and China. Its capital and largest city is Kabul, and the national currency is the Afghani (AFN).
Afghanistan’s electricity supply is typically around 220–230 volts at 50 Hz. Travelers from regions that use about 120 volts (such as the United States and Canada) should confirm that their devices are labeled 100–240V or use an appropriate voltage converter.
Afghanistan has a mixed electrical environment. Multiple plug types are encountered due to legacy installations, regional variation, and imported equipment.
Travelers may encounter Type C, Type D, or Type E/F sockets depending on location and building age. Using a compatible or universal travel adapter is recommended.
