Can I use my UK laptop charger in Hong Kong?

🔌
Yes – it just works

Hong Kong uses 220V, close to the UK's 230V, so your laptop charger works normally. Your UK plug fits the sockets as it is.

How to check your laptop charger

Look for the "Input" rating on the plug, power brick or the handle near the cable:

  • 100–240V ~ 50/60Hz – works anywhere in the world with a plug adapter.
  • A switch marked 120/230 or 110/220 – dual-voltage: set it to match the country before plugging in.
  • 220–240V only – fine in Hong Kong.

Plugs in Hong Kong

No. Sockets are the same as in the UK (type G), so your UK plugs fit.

  • Type G: Three rectangular pins (the UK plug)
