Do you need a travel adapter for Indonesia?

Indonesia - and Bali, its tourism powerhouse - uses round-pin Type C and Type F sockets at 230 V, 50 Hz, the same as continental Europe, so Europeans plug in without a thing. The story here is the Australians: Bali is their favourite overseas escape, and the Australian Type I plug fits nothing in Indonesia, so they always need an adapter.

Do you need an adapter? It depends where you're coming from

Coming from	Plug adapter	Voltage
From the United States	Adapter needed	Check converter
From the UK	Adapter needed	Compatible
From continental Europe	Not needed	Compatible
From Australia / New Zealand	Adapter needed	Compatible

Plug adapters change the shape only. A "Check converter" flag means the voltage differs from your home country - fine for dual-voltage gear (phones, laptops, cameras marked 100-240 V) but risky for single-voltage appliances like hair dryers and travel kettles.

Practical tips for Indonesia

• From continental Europe: your Type C/F plugs fit directly - nothing needed.
• From Australia or New Zealand: you always need a Type C adapter for Bali and the rest of Indonesia; voltage matches at 230 V.
• From the US: adapter required, and 230 V is double your 120 V - mind single-voltage appliances.
• From the UK: a Type C adapter is needed; voltage is compatible.
