Macau plug types & voltage — adapters, 100–240V devices and local sockets

Macau primarily uses UK-style Type G sockets at 230 V/50 Hz; hotels often provide multi-standard outlets.

Sockets & supply

GType G — three rectangular pins (BS 1363)
Voltage230 V
Frequency50 Hz

Legacy sockets still around: D/M type

Type G dominates with older D/M sockets around; hotels often have universal sockets — bring a G adapter.

From China — your plugs vs local sockets

two flat pins needs adapter Euro round pins needs adapter angled three-pin needs adapter
Adapter None of your plugs fit — an adapter is a must. Buy: an adapter to Type G, or a universal adapter.
Voltage 220 V → 230 V: close enough — no transformer needed.
Frequency 50 Hz → 50 Hz: nothing to worry about.

On the ground

Macau primarily uses UK-style Type G sockets at 230 V/50 Hz; hotels often provide multi-standard outlets.

Legacy Type D/M outlets survive in older buildings. Older references cite 220 V; the current nominal is 230 V.

What to pack

A Type G adapter is the reliable choice, with hotel universal sockets as backup; no transformer needed at 230 V.

Universal sockets fit everything but earthing quality varies — grounded devices are safer on a proper Type G outlet.

Wide-voltage (INPUT 100–240V) chargers and power bricks work anywhere; single-voltage heating appliances (hairdryers, kettles) need a transformer when voltages differ. Country data cannot certify a device — check the nameplate.
