Bosnia and Herzegovina is located in Europe bordering the Adriatic Sea and Croatia. Bosnia and Herzegovina uses the same adapters as many countries in Continental Europe including its neighbor Croatia. If you are traveling to the UK you will need an additional adapter. 

When you purchase the Deluxe Adapter Kit for traveling to Bosnia and Herzegovina your package will ship Priority Mail with tracking. Deluxe Bosnia and Herzegovina Kit also comes with both grounded and non-grounded adapter plugs.

Standard Adapter Kit only comes with a grounded plug. Basic Kit only comes with a non-grounded plug.

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.

Going In Style Bosnia-Herzegovina Adapter Model GIS-BOS-B-GUB

Grounded Adapter Plugs (Earthed Adapters)

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 adapter plug. A grounded United States plug has two flat blades and one round pin.

Non-Grounded Adapter Plugs (Non-Earthed Adapters)

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.

Cycles: 50 Hz vs. 60 Hz.

Bosnia-Herzegovina operates on 220 volt electricity and is generated at 50Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. United States 110-120 volt electricity is generated at 60Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. This difference in cycles may cause the motor in your 60Hz United States appliance to operate slightly slower when used on 50Hz foreign electricity. Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.

Check you appliances to make sure they are dual voltage before you leave on your trip.

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.  Your iPhone, iPad and iPod are dual voltage and will not need a converter.  You will still need an adapter to charge your iPhone or apple device.  Just bring your regular iPad charger with you on your trip and use the Europe adapter plug to plug your apple charger into Europe wall outlets.  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 Bosnia-Herzegovina

Geography

Bosnia-Herzegovina is located Southeastern Europe, bordering the Adriatic Sea and Croatia. Its area is slightly smaller than West Virginia. Bosnia-Herzegovina’s climate has hot summers and cold winters; areas of high elevation have short, cool summers and long, severe winters; mild, rainy winters along coast. The terrain is mountains and valleys.

Currency

The currency used is the Bosnia and Herzegovina Konvertibilna Marka (BAM). Major credit cards are accepted at major establishments, however it is best to carry some cash because many places do not accept credit card. Foreign currency can be exchanged at banks, but travelers cheques can be more difficult to exchange.

Staying Connected

Bosnia-Herzegovina’s post-war reconstruction of the telecommunications network, aided by an internationally sponsored program, has resulted in sharp increases in the number of fixed telephone lines available. Domestic fixed-line teledensity is roughly 22 per 100 persons; mobile-cellular subscribership has been increasing rapidly and, stands at roughly 70 telephones per 100 persons. When traveling to Bosnia-Herzegovina you will need to have an unlocked or international cell phone with a Bahrain SIM card to make mobile calls. You will need an adapter to charge your cell 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.

Bosnia-Herzegovina has 146,152 internet hosts and 1.422 million internet users. Internet is widely available in hotels and internet cafes. When traveling with your laptop or iPad you will need an adapter to charge your device.
