From Montserrat to Qatar
When travelling from Montserrat to Qatar: Some of your Montserrat plug types fit in Qatar (G). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage is different (230V → 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.
