From Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to Malta
When travelling from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to Malta: Some of your Saint Vincent and the Grenadines plug types fit in Malta (G). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage is different (110V / 230V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (50Hz / 60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.
