From Japan to Sint Maarten
When travelling from Japan to Sint Maarten: Good news: all your Japan plug types fit in Sint Maarten. Voltage is different (100V → 110V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 110V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (50Hz / 60Hz → 60Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.
