Abkhazia Travel Adapters
Type C & Type F • 220 volts • 50 Hz
Abkhazia is a region on the eastern coast of the Black Sea, bordered by Georgia to the east and the Caucasus Mountains and Russia to the north. Its main city and administrative center is Sukhumi. Local authorities issue commemorative apsar coins, but the Russian ruble is used for day-to-day transactions.
Abkhazia uses mains electricity supplied at 220 volts at 50 Hz, the same standard used in neighboring Georgia and Russia. Wall outlets commonly accept Type C and Type F. Travelers from regions that use different plug types need a travel adapter for Type C or Type F; equipment that is not dual voltage requires an appropriate voltage converter.

Do I need a voltage converter for Abkhazia?
Only if your device isn't dual voltage. Most phones, laptops, and cameras are rated for 100–240V and only need a plug adapter for Abkhazia's outlets. High-wattage single-voltage appliances, like hair dryers, straighteners, or some CPAP machines, need a voltage converter, not just an adapter. Check the device label for its voltage rating before you travel.
Can I use my US phone charger in Abkhazia?
Most modern phone and laptop chargers are rated for 100–240V, so they work on Abkhazia's 220V supply without a separate converter. You'll still need a plug adapter, since the charger's US plug won't physically fit Abkhazia's outlets.
Are Abkhazia and US power outlets interchangeable?
No. Abkhazia uses Type C and Type F outlets and the US uses Type A/B. The plug shapes are different, and Abkhazia runs at 220V compared to 120V in the US, so a plug adapter alone is only safe for devices that already support both voltages.
Does Abkhazia use more than one plug type?
Yes. Abkhazia uses two plug types: Type C, a two round-pin Europlug, and Type F, a grounded Schuko-style plug with two earthing clips. An adapter rated for Type F will also fit Type C sockets, so either one will work throughout the region.
