QR codes can now be used by motorcyclists for clearance at Johor’s land immigration checkpoints. This development follows the successful completion of the first-phase trial of the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe), which began on 22 September. Initially, the NIISe system was implemented for car lanes at Johor’s Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI) and the Sultan Abu Bakar Complex (KSAB).
“During the NIISe trial phase, the existing QR code system and MyBorderPass application can still be used,” stated the Malaysian Home Ministry. “However, the public, including foreign visitors, are encouraged to switch to the MyNIISe application for immigration entry matters at the entry points that have activated its use.”
According to CNA, the MyNIISe app is expected to replace MyBorderPass after the trial phase concludes in March. With the new system, drivers entering Singapore can simply scan a MyNIISe-generated QR code at dedicated lanes instead of waiting for manual checks at immigration counters.
Motorists, on the other hand, must register through the MyNIISe platform to generate a unique QR code linked to their travel details. The ministry also reminded the public that valid travel documents or passports are still required for immigration clearance, in accordance with the provisions of the Immigration Act.
Regarding the MyNIISe application, The Star reported that more than 80,000 people have registered for the platform. The MyNIISe QR code is not limited to Malaysians, as travellers from 63 countries can use it to enter Malaysia, while citizens of 71 countries can use it for departure. The app is available for download on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Huawei AppGallery.
