Georgia Power Plugs, Wall Sockets & Electrical Outlets
In Georgia, power plugs and sockets (electrical outlets) of Type C (CEE 7/16 (Europlug), two round pins, ungrounded) and Type F (CEE 7/4 (Schuko), two round pins with grounding clips on sides, grounded) are used. Wall sockets run at 220V and 50Hz. Check if you need a travel adapter, electrical adapter or voltage converter before travelling to Georgia.

Power Sockets and Plug Types in Georgia
A Georgia power plug comes in one of two forms: the two-pin Type C Europlug or the grounded Type F Schuko plug. Both operate on the country's standard 220-240 volt system at 50Hz, and travelers will find that most wall socket outlets across hotels, apartments, and public buildings accept either style. Type C is the compact, ungrounded plug best suited to small electronics, while Type F is the robust, grounded connector used for larger household appliances.
The Type C Europlug features two round 4mm pins and is limited to 2.5 amps, making it ideal for phones, cameras, laptops, and other low-power Class II devices that do not require grounding. The Type F Schuko plug, by contrast, has thicker 4.8mm pins along with side grounding clips and supports up to 16 amps, making it the choice for appliances like washing machines, kettles, and heaters.
Grounding and the Earth Pin
Type F sockets in Georgia include grounding clips on the sides of the recessed socket rather than a single grounding pin, contacting matching clips on the plug itself to provide protective earthing. This design also offers splash resistance, making Type F suitable for bathrooms and outdoor use. Type C Europlugs lack any grounding pin entirely, since they are designed exclusively for double-insulated devices that don't need an earth connection.
Plug Sockets, Voltage & Adapters in Georgia
Visitors arriving from countries with different plug standards will need a travel adaptor to fit their devices into Georgian wall sockets. Since Type C plugs are compatible with Type F sockets (though without a grounding connection), most low-power electronics can be plugged in without any adapter conversion beyond the physical shape.
Voltage and Frequency in Georgia
Georgia runs on 220V at 50Hz, matching the electrical standard used across most of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Travelers from regions using 100-127V systems, such as the United States or Japan, should check whether their devices support dual voltage before plugging in, since a plug adapter alone does not convert electrical current.
- A universal or Europe-style travel adaptor (Type C/F compatible)
- A voltage converter if your devices only support 100-127V
- Surge protection for sensitive electronics, if desired
- Confirmation that appliances are dual-voltage (labeled 100-240V) before use
Frequently Asked Questions
If your home country uses Type C or Type F plugs, no adapter is needed since these are Georgia's standard plug types. Travelers from countries using other plug shapes, such as Type A, G, or I, will need a travel adaptor to fit Georgian wall sockets.
Georgia uses both Type C (Europlug) and Type F (Schuko) plugs. Type C is the two-pin ungrounded plug rated for 2.5A, commonly used for small electronics, while Type F is the grounded 16A plug used for higher-power appliances.
Yes, most phone chargers are dual-voltage and can handle Georgia's 220V, 50Hz supply without a converter. You'll only need a plug adapter if your charger's plug shape doesn't match Type C or Type F sockets, not a voltage converter.
Pack a travel adaptor compatible with Type C or Type F sockets, and a voltage converter only if you're bringing devices that don't support 220-240V. It's also worth confirming your appliances are rated for dual voltage before departure to avoid any surprises at the wall socket.
