Tajikistan Travel Adapter Kit | Going In Style

Tajikistan is located in Central Asia, west of China and south of Kyrgyzstan.  Tajikistan uses the same adapter plugs as neighboring country Kyrgyzstan and nearby country Russia.  If traveling to China you will need to purchase additional adapter plugs.

The Deluxe Tajikistan Adapter Plug Set for travel comes with three adapter plugs.  The Deluxe Tajikistan Kit includes two grounded plugs and one non-grounded adapter plug.  The two grounded plugs look similar, however, one plug is a bit smaller than the other.  

The Standard Tajikistan Adapter Plug Kit comes with two grounded plugs.  The Basic Tajikistan Adapter Plug Kit comes with one non-grounded adapter plug.  If you are not certain whether you will need a grounded or a nongrounded adapter plug for your trip to Tajikistan, you can watch Going In Style's Adapter Plug Video.

Adapter plugs allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. An adapter plug does NOT change the current or voltage (this requires a converter) unless your appliance is dual voltage. A non-grounded adapter may NOT be used with appliances that have grounded plugs; for these you will need a grounded adapter.  If your hair dryer, curling iron, electric razor is not dual voltage you will most likely need a converter to use your electric.  For more information see Going In Style's Adapter and Converter Finder.

Many of our customers find it handy to have multiple adaptors while traveling - either to run several appliances simultaneously or simply as a backup. If you think you will need additional adapters for your trip, you can also purchase individual adapters.

Grounded Adapter Plugs

If you are traveling with a grounded United States dual/multi-voltage appliance or using a grounded Transformer you will need to use a grounded adaptor plug. A grounded United States plug has two flat blades and one round pin.

Non-Grounded Adapter Plugs

Going In Style offers non-grounded adapter plugs for use with your voltage converter, transformer, or dual/multi voltage appliance. A non-grounded United States plug has two flat blades.

Be sure to check each individual appliance to see if it is dual voltage.  You can watch Going In Style's video on how to check to see if your appliance is dual voltage.

Computers and Apple Products

If you are traveling overseas with a Toshiba, HP, Lenovo, Asus, laptop or Apple device such as an iPad, chances are you won’t need a voltage converter. Most laptops are multi-voltage and will operate on voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts. However, computers do need to make safe connections to foreign power systems and a surge protector is recommended and you will still need an adapter to use your plug.

Converter- Changing Current Voltage

Going in Style adapters allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. Adapter plugs DO NOT convert voltage and only change the configuration of the pins. When voltage conversion is needed, use an electricity converter. An electricity converter changes the voltage input into your appliance. The United States electrical appliances operate on a lower current of 110-120 volts AC (Alternating Current). Most of the world operates on 220-240 volts AC. Therefore converter units enable your electronic and non-electronic appliances to run on foreign electricity (220-240 volts) to match the voltage requirements of your 110-120 volt device. Failure to run your appliance with a converter could damage your appliance.

About Tajikistan

Geography

The Tajikistan is located in Central Asia, west of China, south of Kyrgyzstan. The area is slightly smaller than Wisconsin. The climate is midlatitude continental, hot summers, mild winters; semiarid to polar in Pamir Mountains.

Currency

Currency in Tajikistan is the Tajik Somoni (TJS). Credit cards are not accepted; you should plan to carry cash. Foreign currency can be exchanged at the exchange bureau.

Staying Connected

Foreign investment in Tajikistan’s telephone system has resulted in major improvements; conversion of the existing fixed network from analogue to digital more than 90% complete by 2009. The fixed line availability has not changed significantly since 1998 while mobile cellular subscribership, aided by competition among multiple operators, has expanded rapidly; coverage now extends to all major cities and towns

When traveling to Tajikistan you can take an international or unlocked cell phone with a prepaid Tajikistan SIM card or purchase a phone when you arrive. You can also contact your mobile service provider to set up an international calling plan. You will need an adapter to charge your phone if you decide to bring your own phone. Most cell phone battery rechargers should be multi-voltage, therefore will not require a converter. If the charger says 100-240 volts, 50-60 cycles then your charger in multi-voltage.

Tajikistan has 4,268 internet hosts and 700,000 internet users. Internet is available at internet cafes. When traveling with your laptop or iPad you will need an adapter to charge your device..
