From Costa Rica to Fiji
When travelling from Costa Rica to Fiji: None of your Costa Rica plug types fit in Fiji. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (120V → 240V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 240V 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 Fiji
Fiji uses 240V/50Hz with Type I sockets, same as Australia and New Zealand.
Grid & history

Availability
Reliable in Suva, Nadi, and resort areas; outer islands can have brief outages.
Sockets & hotels
Type I. Australian and NZ plugs fit perfectly.
Energy mix
Hydropower dominates.
Practical tips
- An Australian or NZ Type I adapter works in both countries.
- Voltage is 240V, the high end of the European range, and modern chargers handle it.
