Turkmenistan Travel Adapter Kit | Going In Style

The Deluxe Turkmenistan Adaptor Plug Set comes with a total of three adapter plugs, including grounded and non grounded plugs.  Turkmenistan Deluxe Kit ships Priority Mail with tracking so you will have your adapter to you in time for your trip to the Middle East.

Turkmenistan Standard Adapter Kit includes two grounded adapters.   The Basic Turkmenistan Adapter Set includes one non grounded adapter plug.  If you are not sure whether you will need a grounded or a non grounded adapter plug, watch Going In Style's Adapter Plug Video featuring grounded and Non grounded plugs. 

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

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.

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.

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.

About Turkmenistan

Geography

The Turkmenistan is located in Central Asia, bordering the Caspian Sea, between Iran and Kazakhstan. The area is slightly larger than California. The climate is subtropical desert.

Currency

Currency in Turkmenistan is the New Manat (TMT). Credit cards are not accepted ad establishments will only accept cash. Foreign currency can be exchanged at banks and some hotels.

Staying Connected

Turkmenistan’s telecommunications network remains underdeveloped and progress toward improvement is slow; strict government control and censorship inhibits liberalization and modernization. The combined fixed-line and mobile teledensity is about 40 per 100 persons but the expulsion of the country's primary mobile service provider, Russia's Mobile Telesystems, in December 2010 significantly reduced access to mobile phone service. When travelling to Turkmenistan you can take an international or unlocked cell phone with a prepaid Turkmenistan SIM card or purchase a phone when you arrive. You can also call your mobile 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.

Turkmenistan has 717 internet hosts and 80,400 internet users. Internet availability is limited. When traveling with your laptop or iPad you will need an adapter to charge your device.
