We’ve all had that travel-power moment: You find a convenient outlet beside the bed, then stop for a quick compatibility check before connecting your charger. For travelers from the US or Canada, the flat-pin outlet looks familiar, but the voltage still deserves its own check.
If you are coming from the US or Canada, plug shape may already match. That does not remove the need to check voltage on the exact device you are bringing.
Good news — wide-voltage chargers simplify this: many phone and laptop chargers accept 100–240V, but Guyana has more than one listed supply (110 V / 220 V). Confirm the exact outlet and local voltage before using hair tools or other high-power appliances.
“I checked the socket first instead of assuming my everyday plug would fit.”

Guyana power plugs: Type A and Type B
Do you need a travel adapter for Guyana?
Here’s the quick physical-fit check:
- From the US or Canada? Your Type A/B plug usually fits physically.
- From continental Europe? Your continental-European plug needs an adapter for A/B.
- From the UK? A UK Type G plug needs an adapter for A/B.
- From Australia or New Zealand? A Type I plug needs an adapter for A/B.
- Not sure? Compare your plug with the listed A/B socket types, then check voltage separately.
Buy a Travel Adapter for Guyana
Already know you need one? A country-specific adapter can be the lightest option for a single trip; a universal adapter can be more convenient for a multi-country itinerary. Hair dryers and other high-power appliances still need a separate voltage check.
For travelers who need a plug-shape change, compare a universal travel adapter and confirm that the exact model supports the A/B socket types listed for Guyana.

Can I Use My iPhone, MacBook or Hair Dryer in Guyana?
The safe answer depends on the exact device, not just the country. Check both the INPUT voltage and the plug shape.
iPhone & USB-C chargers in Guyana
Many modern phone chargers accept 100–240 V, but confirm the INPUT label on your charger. If the voltage is supported, the remaining question is whether its plug fits the listed A/B sockets.
MacBook & laptop chargers in Guyana
Many laptop power adapters are wide-voltage, but verify the exact charger you own. Plug fit and voltage compatibility are separate checks.
Dyson Airwrap / Supersonic in Guyana
Dyson hair tools can be region-specific. Check the exact model, the voltage on its label, and the region where it was purchased before using it in Guyana.
Hair dryer, straightener & curling iron in Guyana
Guyana has more than one listed supply (110 V / 220 V). Confirm the exact local voltage and the appliance label before using hair dryers, straighteners or curling irons.
What Voltage and Frequency Are Used in Guyana?
Guyana is listed at 110 V / 220 V and 50 / 60 Hz.
Because more than one supply is listed, confirm the exact location or accommodation before using voltage-sensitive equipment. A 100–240V charger often covers a broad range, but high-power appliances still need a precise check.
Plug shape and voltage remain separate questions.
Buy a Voltage Converter for Guyana — Only if you need it
Not every traveler needs a voltage converter. Because Guyana has more than one listed supply, confirm the exact local voltage before deciding.
A converter is worth considering only when the device is not compatible with the local supply. Match the converter to both voltage and wattage requirements.
