From Bonaire to Belgium
When travelling from Bonaire to Belgium: Some of your Bonaire plug types fit in Belgium (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage is different (127V / 220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.

About electricity in Belgium
Belgium uses 230V/50Hz with Type C and E sockets, the same French and Belgian standard.
