One. Tinder says Passport Mode lets you be in one city at a time, though you can change that city as often as you like. The people you Liked while using Passport may still see you for a short time after you switch, so leaving a city does not erase what you did there on the spot.

One city, switched as often as you like

The limit is on how many places you appear in at the same moment, not on how many places you can visit. Pick a city, and that is where Tinder puts you. Pick another tomorrow, and you move there.

So a trip with three stops means three switches, one after another. You cannot line them all up in advance and show up in each at once. And while you are in a Passport city, you are there instead of at home. For as long as you are away, the women around your own apartment are not the ones coming across you.

Treat each stop as its own short plan

Because you can only be in one place, a trip with several cities works best as a string of short plans, each with a clear finish.

For the first stop, set the city a few days before you leave and start talking to people from home. The goal is simple: arrive with one evening already agreed. When that evening is fixed, move the app to the second stop and do the same again.

Tight trips need a little care with timing. If you reach the second city on Friday, you may need to switch while you are still in the first city on Tuesday or Wednesday. That is fine, as long as the first city's plans are already made. Switching decides where new people come across you. Keep replying to the women you have already matched with, wherever they live.

Which stop gets your effort first

A short trip does not leave time to build much in every city. Spend your effort on the stops where you actually have evenings free.

A stop packed with work dinners is not worth your best early swiping. A stop with two open evenings is, even if you arrive there second. Look at your calendar before you look at the app. Give the head start to the city where you can actually say yes to a drink on a Tuesday.

It is also fine to skip a stop entirely. Passport is a tool for the trips where it helps, not a chore for every city on the itinerary.

Right after you switch

The city you leave does not go silent the moment you move on. Tinder says the people you Liked while using Passport may see you for a short time after you change your location.

That grace period is small, but it helps. A woman you liked just before you switched may not open the app for a few hours, and she still gets a chance to see you and like you back. If she does, you have a match in a city you have just left.

Be honest with her about it. Tell her you were there for a few days and when you might be back. If you really are returning soon, that match is worth keeping warm. If you are not, enjoy the compliment and let it go.

Get a number before you leave each city

The women you stay in touch with after a trip are usually the ones you moved off the app while you were there.

a dating coach's advice on the apps is to get a good conversation onto the phone early. Once she is texting you, she is a warmer lead and closer to a date. The conversation also stops depending on where the app happens to think you are.

So before you switch away from a city, go through every promising chat from that stop. Ask for a number from the ones that are going well. For the rest, a short, friendly goodbye beats simply disappearing.

If you live between two cities

Some men ask this because their life is split: a week at home, then a week somewhere else for work. Passport still puts you in one place at a time, so you have to choose.

Give the app to whichever city you will be free in over the next few days, and switch back when your schedule does. What goes wrong is leaving one city set out of habit, so the other goes quiet for a month. Put one plain line in your bio saying you split your time between the two places, so a woman in either city knows what she is signing up for.

The short answer

One city at a time, as many switches as you like. Run a trip with several stops as a string of short plans, start each city a few days ahead, and give your effort to the stop with free evenings. People you Liked may see you for a short time after you switch, and the surest way to stay in touch after you leave is to get a number while you are still there.
