Quick answer

Tajikistan uses Types C, F and I outlets. A Type C adapter fits most; a universal adapter covers the rest. 220 V is about twice the 120 V of the United States. Chargers marked 100–240 V (phones, laptops, cameras) only need an adapter; single-voltage devices such as hair dryers and straighteners need a converter, or bring dual-voltage ones.

What to pack for Tajikistan

  • A Type C plug adapter, or a universal adapter for older outlets, one per device you charge at the same time.
  • Dual-voltage hair tools, or a voltage converter if yours are 120 V only.
  • Leave U.S. power strips at home: most are rated for 125 V, not 220 V.

Check the label first

Look for the input line on your charger or device. INPUT: 100–240V means it works anywhere with just a plug adapter. A single number such as 120V means it only works at that voltage.
