From Jamaica to Vatican City
When travelling from Jamaica to Vatican City: None of your Jamaica plug types fit in Vatican City. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (110V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.
