From Brazil to Saint Martin
When travelling from Brazil to Saint Martin: Some of your Brazil plug types fit in Saint Martin (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage is different (127V / 220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency is the same at 60Hz.
