Using Starlink abroad
By Roaming Dish Editors. Updated October 23, 2026. How we work these numbers out
Roam Unlimited generally covers up to 30 days outside your home country, with eligible US/Canada and European grouped-region exceptions. Complete required Travel Registration before departure. Roam 100GB and 300GB stay inside your home country or region.
1,070 Wh × 90% usable × 90% for USB-C ÷ 28 W = about 31 hours of browsing and music. The dish's draw is from its spec sheet. The two percentages are our estimates.
How long it runs
| Setup | Hours per full charge |
|---|---|
| Mini, 1,070 Wh station, USB-C Mini at 28 W (browsing and music), USB-C | 31 h |
| Mini, 768 Wh station, USB-C Mini at 28 W (browsing and music), USB-C | 22 h |
Usable capacity taken as 90% of the rating. Connection losses are our estimates. Try your own battery.
The rules
Roam Unlimited generally includes 30 days outside the registered home country. Eligible accounts traveling within the listed US/Canada territories or European group are exempt, but extended stays may require localization. Travel Registration is generally required outside the home country, except Enterprise. Starlink Help Center, Roam plans
Roam 50GB, 100GB and 300GB are for use in your home country or grouped region, which is the US and Canada, or Europe. Abroad you need Roam Unlimited or a Priority plan. Starlink Help Center, Roam plans
Specialized in-motion guidance lists more restricted countries, including Colombia, Costa Rica and Spain, than the general Roam page. Treat conflicting lists as uncertain and confirm local permission. Starlink specialized in-motion rules
Is it available there
Starlink publishes the status of every market in the data behind its coverage map. Our country pages read that file and show the date we checked it. Starlink availability data
Power and plugs
The Mini's own power supply takes 100 to 240 V at 50 or 60 Hz, so it works on mains anywhere with the right plug adapter. Japan's 100 V mains sits at the very bottom of that range. Over USB-C or 12 V from a power station, the local mains does not matter at all. Mini spec sheet
Before you leave
Check the country in Starlink's availability data, register the trip under Travel Registration, and confirm your plan is Roam Unlimited if you are leaving your home region. If you will be driving, check the specialized country-specific in-motion rules and resolve conflicting advice before use.
Pack a plug adapter for the Mini's mains supply, or plan to run the dish from a power station and skip the local mains altogether.
Longer than 30 days
Roam Unlimited covers up to 30 days outside your home country at a time. For longer stays, check the grouped-region exception or Global Business/account localization options. Local Priority currently allows up to 60 international days; the 30-day Business change takes effect December 1, 2026. See Starlink’s current travel rules.
