Singapore plug types & voltage — adapters, 100–240V devices and local sockets
Singapore uses UK-style Type G three-pin sockets at 230 V/50 Hz; outlets are switched, and Type C Euro plugs are accommodated in some installations.
Sockets & supply
Legacy sockets still around: M type
Type G dominates at 230 V/50 Hz.
From China — your plugs vs local sockets
On the ground
Singapore uses UK-style Type G three-pin sockets at 230 V/50 Hz; outlets are switched, and Type C Euro plugs are accommodated in some installations.
Uniform island-wide; legacy Type M outlets survive only in very old buildings — nothing to plan for.
What to pack
None of the Chinese plug types fit — a Type G (or universal) adapter is required. At 230 V, close to China's, no transformer is needed.
Type G sockets are earthed and fused — just use a certified adapter with safety shutters.
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.
