Frequently asked questions
Do I need a travel adapter for Georgia?
You need one if your devices have plugs that do not fit type C and type F sockets. A travel adapter only changes the shape of the plug; it does not change the voltage.
Do I need a voltage converter for Georgia?
Most phone, laptop and camera chargers accept 100 to 240 V, so a plug adapter is usually enough: check the small print on the charger. Devices rated for 110 to 120 V only, such as some hair dryers and kitchen appliances from North America, need a converter or should not be used.
