My country has 120V mains, so I can't point you towards an iron that will work without a converter...but I can point you to an iron from the same series.

Personally, I love my WP35...a basic iron, but with great tip support. Unfortunately, they don't make a 220V version of it. You could get a converter for under $15, but if you really hate that idea, there is another WP series iron that will work with 220V mains. It is the WP25D...it is a lower wattage, but it is still more than enough for soldering through-hole stuff, it still supports all the WP series tips, it still has ESD protection, and it should last just as long if not longer than the WP35.
