Main Voltage in Somalia

Do I Need a Voltage Converter in Somalia?

Somalia runs on a main voltage of 220 volts at a frequency of 50 Hz. This is effectively the same as India's 230V/50Hz. You can plug any Indian device into a Somalia socket without a voltage converter, as long as the plug shape fits.

Will my Indian charger work in Somalia?

Yes, your Indian charger works in Somalia without any adapter. Somalia uses Type C sockets at 220V/50Hz. Your Indian phone and laptop chargers are dual-voltage (the label reads 100–240V), so they handle Somalia voltage without any issue. The only question is plug shape — your Indian Type C and D plugs fit Somalia sockets directly, so just plug in and charge. You do not need a voltage converter — Somalia's 220V is the same as India's 230V.
