From Montserrat to Cape Verde
When travelling from Montserrat to Cape Verde: None of your Montserrat plug types fit in Cape Verde. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage matches at 230V, so a basic plug adapter is enough for most devices. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.
