From Sint Maarten to Angola
When travelling from Sint Maarten to Angola: None of your Sint Maarten plug types fit in Angola. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (110V → 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.
