Hello PomaiT,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


These steps should help you add your Japanese transit card:


Add a Suica, PASMO, or ICOCA card to Apple Wallet

You can add a new Suica, PASMO, or ICOCA card on your iPhone or Apple Watch, or you can transfer your physical card to your device.

When you add your first Suica, PASMO, or ICOCA card, Express Mode is automatically turned on for that card, which allows you to pay for transit rides and make purchases with just a tap.

How to add a new Suica, PASMO, or ICOCA card on your iPhone or Apple Watch

  1. To add a card:
    • iPhone: Open the Wallet app and tap the Add button Add button.
    • Apple Watch: On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app and tap the My Watch tab. Then scroll down, tap Wallet & Apple Pay, and tap Add Card.

2.Tap Transit Card.

3.Choose the card that you want to add.

4.Tap Continue.

5.Choose an amount to put on the card and tap Add.

6.Follow the steps on the screen to confirm your purchase and add your Suica, PASMO, or ICOCA card.


How to transfer a physical Suica, PASMO, or ICOCA card to your iPhone or Apple Watch

You can transfer your physical Suica, PASMO, or ICOCA card and its current balance to Apple Wallet.3 After the transfer, your physical card won't work and your deposit will be added to your Suica, PASMO, or ICOCA balance in Apple Wallet.

  1. To add a card:
    • iPhone: Open the Wallet app and tap the Add button Add button.
    • Apple Watch: On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app and tap the My Watch tab. Then scroll down, tap Wallet & Apple Pay, and tap Add Card.

2.Tap Transit Card.

3.Choose the card that you want to add and tap Continue.

4.Tap Transfer Existing Card.

5.Follow the steps on the screen to transfer your physical card. Verify the last four digits of the card number.

Your date of birth is required only if you're adding a My Suica card, personalized PASMO card, a Commuter PASMO or Suica card, or an ICOCA card. Use the same date of birth that you entered when you purchased your plastic physical card. Tap Next.

6.Place your card on a flat surface and rest the top of your iPhone on the card until Card Added appears on the screen. This process could take a few minutes to complete."
