Suica and Pasmo have become an ubiquitous part of life and travel in Japan, but you can’t get a new card for either.

As the article says: this only affects the physical cards, you can still buy Suica and Pasmo cards in Apple Pay and Google Pay. I wouldn’t expect any problems with that. These virtual cards have another big plus: you can manage the account balance directly on your phone.

Has anyone ever had a problem with the virtual Suica or Pasmo card?

My phone died once. But it’s less hassle than carrying a card.
