Frequently asked questions
What plug does Belize use?

What is the voltage in Belize?
Belize runs on 110 V / 220 V at 60 Hz. Both voltages are in use, so check the socket or ask before plugging in a single-voltage appliance.
Can I charge my iPhone or laptop in Belize?
Yes. Phones, laptops and USB chargers are dual voltage (100–240 V) so the voltage is fine anywhere; US-style Type A plugs fit Belize's sockets, so US travellers need no adapter at all. Everyone else needs a Type A adapter.
