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.
Kyrgyz sockets are Type and at 220 V, the Soviet-era European pattern.
Sockets in Kyrgyzstan are Type and at 220 V, 50 Hz - two round pins, the same shape as continental Europe.
- A Europlug fits every socket in the country.
- Older sockets are unearthed and narrow, so a chunky Schuko plug sometimes needs pressure to enter.
- British, American and Australian plugs need an adapter.
- Yurt camps and mountain guesthouses run on solar or a generator for a few hours in the evening, so charging is opportunistic rather than overnight.
- Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan match, so one adapter covers a Central Asian route.
- 220 V behaves as 230 V does for anything built for Europe; American 120 V-only equipment needs a converter.
