No adapter needed.
Plugs from the UK and Ireland (Type G) fit the sockets in Singapore (Type G). The voltage is similar (230 V at home, 230 V there), so you won’t need a voltage converter for devices rated for your home voltage.

Voltage check
The voltage is similar (230 V at home, 230 V there), so you won’t need a voltage converter for devices rated for your home voltage. Most phone, tablet and laptop chargers say 100–240 V on the label; treat that as something to check, not a guarantee. Read plug adapter vs voltage converter for how to read a label.
Socket details for Singapore
- Singapore uses Type G only (three rectangular pins), at 230 V, 50 Hz.
- In the voltage-checker dataset, 10 other countries have the same socket types and voltage group as Singapore: Bahrain, Cyprus, Hong Kong, Ireland, Kenya, Macau, Malaysia, Malta and more. An adapter for Type G sockets bought for Singapore also fits sockets there.
- Your plugs from the UK and Ireland are Type G (three rectangular); in our plug-fit rules they fit Type G sockets, which the voltage checker lists for places such as UK, Ireland, HK, Singapore, Malaysia.
What to pack
- Nothing extra for the plugs: your G plugs fit
- Check the label on each charger: look for “100–240V” or “INPUT: 100–240V ~ 50/60Hz”
- A power board or multi-port USB charger from home means you only need one adapter
