United States Virgin Islands Travel Adapters
Type A & Type B • 120 volts • 60 Hz
The US Virgin Islands is the only US territory where traffic drives on the left side of the road, a holdover from Danish colonial rule, even though drivers use the same left-hand-drive vehicles with the steering wheel on the left that are standard throughout the rest of the United States.
The U.S. Virgin Islands is a territory of the United States in the Caribbean. The capital city is Charlotte Amalie, and the territory is known for its beaches, coral reefs, and tropical climate. Popular attractions include Magens Bay, Virgin Islands National Park, and snorkeling and diving sites. U.S. Virgin Islands offers a mix of coastal scenery, marine life, and cultural experiences.
The U.S. Virgin Islands uses mains electricity supplied at 120 volts at 60 Hz, the same as the United States. Wall outlets use Type A and Type B. Travelers from regions that use different plug types need a travel adapter for Type A or Type B; equipment that is not dual voltage requires an appropriate voltage converter.

Do I need a voltage converter for the US Virgin Islands?
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 the US Virgin Islands' 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 the US Virgin Islands?
Yes. The US Virgin Islands run on the same 120V, 60Hz supply as the US mainland, so a US phone or laptop charger plugs in and works directly with no adapter or converter needed.
Are the US Virgin Islands and US power outlets interchangeable?
Yes. The US Virgin Islands are a US territory and use the same Type A and Type B outlets at the same 120V, 60Hz standard as the US mainland, so US plugs and chargers fit and work without any adapter.
Does the US Virgin Islands use more than one plug type?
Yes. Type A is an ungrounded plug with two flat parallel pins, and Type B is the same two flat pins plus a round grounding pin. Type A plugs fit directly into Type B sockets, so a Type B adapter covers both.
