Can I Use My MacBook Pro Charger (USB-C Power Adapter) in Vietnam?
You're good — plug right in.
Your device's voltage range matches this country, and the plug fits. You can use it directly — no adapter or converter needed. As a final check, confirm the voltage range printed on the device label.
The short answer
Apple chargers are dual-voltage (100–240V, 50/60Hz) — they work safely on every grid in the world, including Japan's 100V and Europe's 230V. You only ever need a plug-shape adapter, never a voltage converter. Frequency does not matter for this charger.
Vietnam runs 220V at 50Hz. Vietnam runs 220V at 50Hz with sockets that commonly accept both Type A (US flat blades) and Type C (Europlug). The Type A fit is a trap: the plug goes in, but a US single-voltage device receives 220V and can overheat. Pack a Type C adapter and confirm your devices are dual-voltage.
