What is Tinder Passport?
Tinder Passport is a premium feature that allows you to change your location. Normally, Tinder determines your location using your smartphone's GPS location. You are only allowed to match with people in your local area. Tinder Passport allows you to change your location and start matching with people in other areas. How many locations can you register? You can only register one location at a time. When you change your location, you will stop seeing profiles from your previous area, though you may still receive matches on profiles that you swiped right on from your previous location. How often can I change locations? You can change locations as often as you want. When you return to your previous location, you will need to change your location back to the previous location. Tinder won't do it for you.

Pros of Tinder Passport
You can increase the pool of profiles you can potentially match with. With a free Tinder account, you are limited to matches from your local area, which is determined by your smartphone's GPS location. Some areas don't have as many users and can limit your potential matches. With Tinder Passport, you can expand your pool of potential matches beyond your local area.
You can better plan your travels. With Tinder Passport, you can change your location before you arrive at your destination. This allows you to better plan your travels. You can start matching with people before you arrive at your location and have a date ready the night you arrive.
You get a new user boost when you change locations. Every time you change your location, you get a new user boost, which means your profile will be seen by more people. This can help you get more matches.
Cons of Tinder Passport
It costs money. You can only get Tinder Passport if you have a premium subscription service. While the subscription tiers do come with other features, the monthly cost may not be worth it for many users.
Users can tell you are using Tinder Passport. While Tinder does not explicitly state that you are using Tinder Passport, users can tell how far away you are from your standard search area if they look close enough. While there is a paid feature that allows you to hide your distance, this may be more of a red flag than being away from your standard search area.
Is Tinder Passport Worth It?
It depends on your Tinder usage. If you are a frequent Tinder user and you travel a lot, then Tinder Passport is probably worth it. However, if you mostly stay within a single area and/or you don't user Tinder very often, it's probably not worth the subscription price.
Can You Get Tinder Passport for Free?
No, not really. Tinder has offered Tinder Passport to users for free in the past, but it is usually only for a limited time. It is technically possible to spoof your GPS location using a third-party app, these apps can be buggy and unreliable, and they often are not free. Furthermore, if you get caught, you can be banned from Tinder, and it can be really hard to get your account unbanned.
