What you need, by where you are coming from
- Arriving from the United States or CanadaA plug adapter, and appliances marked 100-240 V. Anything single-voltage needs a converter.
- Arriving from the UK or IrelandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.
- Arriving from most of continental EuropePlugs go straight in and the voltage matches. Nothing to pack.
- Arriving from Australia or New ZealandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.
Socket types, voltage and frequency are the nominal domestic supply as published in IEC/TR 60083 and the national standards it lists.
Finnish sockets are Type Schuko at 230 V, with shaver-only outlets in bathrooms.
Sockets in Finland are Type and at 230 V, 50 Hz - the Schuko outlet used across most of continental Europe.
- A Europlug fits every socket in the country.
- British, American and Australian plugs need an adapter.
- Bathrooms have shaver supply units rather than ordinary sockets, rated for very little current.
- Sweden, Estonia and Russia all match, so a ferry trip across the Gulf of Finland changes nothing.
- 230 V, so only American 120 V-only equipment needs a converter.
- The earth is a pair of clips on the rim, not a third hole, so a two-pin travel adapter fits perfectly and earths nothing.
