Guinea-Bissau.

220 V · 50 Hz on Type C.

One socket type covers the country: unearthed two-pin Type C at 220 V 50 Hz, so europlugs and most continental European plugs fit directly. There is no earthed standard to rely on. Grid power is limited and generator-dependent in much of the country, so pack a surge protector alongside the adapter.

The voltage window

A nominal 220 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 198 and 242 V (±10%). Dual-voltage gear (marked 100–240 V) shrugs at all of it.

Coming here from somewhere else?

Pack an adapter — Guinea-Bissau runs 220 V 50 Hz on Type C — and your 120 V appliances need to be dual-voltage or transformed, adapter or not.
