Good to know
- Reunion Island uses Type C & E sockets — the flat two- or three-pin plugs also used in the US and Canada — at 230V / 50Hz.
- Most phone, laptop and camera chargers are dual-voltage (100–240V) — you usually only need a plug adapter, not a voltage converter. Type E and F plugs are standard across Reunion Island; US and UK plugs do not fit — check the label and shape of your charger.
- Emergency services: dial 112 anywhere in the UK.
