From American Samoa to Liechtenstein
When travelling from American Samoa to Liechtenstein: None of your American Samoa plug types fit in Liechtenstein. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (120V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein uses 230V/50Hz with Type J sockets, the same standard used in Switzerland.
Grid & history
Liechtenstein has no significant domestic generation; it imports electricity from Switzerland and Austria. Domestic supply is highly reliable thanks to Swiss-grid synchronisation.
Availability
Excellent.
Sockets & hotels
Type J accepts Type C (Europlug) plugs directly. Schuko (Type F) plugs do NOT fit Swiss-style sockets without an adapter.
Energy mix
Almost entirely imported from Switzerland; very low domestic generation.
Practical tips
- A Swiss Type J adapter works in Liechtenstein.
- Type C Europlugs work directly.
- Schuko (F) plugs do NOT fit. Bring a J adapter.
