What it means for your plugs
Your plugs
Your Australian plugs won't fit. The Maldives has Type C, D and G sockets. Pack a Type C adaptor (two round pins), which fits the Type C sockets. Type D and G sockets need a different adaptor.
The power
The power is 230 V, close to home, so a converter isn't needed. Most sockets in the Maldives are universal sockets that take several plug types.
- Type C: two round pins
- Type D: three large round pins in a triangle
- Type G: three rectangular pins
