Can I add Pasmo passport to Apple wallet?

No, you cannot add the PASMO PASSPORT (the physical "tourist-only" version of the card) to your Apple Wallet in 2026. The PASMO PASSPORT is a physical souvenir card intended for short-term visitors and is not compatible with mobile integration. However, you can add a standard PASMO or Suica card directly to your Apple Wallet for free. In 2026, this is the preferred method for most travelers: you simply open the "Wallet" app, tap the plus (+) sign, select "Transit Card," and choose PASMO. You can then top it up using a credit card (Mastercard or Amex work best) directly on your phone. This digital card provides the same "tap-and-go" convenience for all trains and buses in Japan as the physical PASMO PASSPORT but without the 28-day expiration limit. If you specifically want the "Passport" version for its cute Sanrio/character designs, you must keep it as a physical card and cannot transfer its balance or functionality to your iPhone or Apple Watch.
