Voltage: Taiwan uses 110V AC, 60Hz electrical system.
Plug Types: Taiwan uses Type A (two flat parallel pins) and Type B (two flat pins plus round grounding pin) outlets. These are the same as used in the United States.
What You Need: Travelers from most countries will need power adapters. Check your device's voltage rating (usually printed on the adapter)—most modern electronics support 100-240V and simply require a plug adapter without a voltage converter. Dual USB chargers are recommended for charging multiple devices efficiently.
Where to Buy Adapters: Airport shops, convenience stores (7-Eleven, FamilyMart), electronics shops (Breeze, Taipei Electronics), and hotel front desks sell adapters and converters. Prices are reasonable (150-300 TWD). It's wise to carry your own adapter from home for peace of mind.
Voltage Converters: Devices with 110V-only ratings require actual converters not just adapters. Most travel converters are heavier and bulkier than simple adapters. If possible, bring dual-voltage devices to avoid converter hassles.
