New immigration system mobile app trial run to kick off on Sept 22


KUALA LUMPUR: A trial run of the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe) will start on Sept 22, beginning with two major entry points in Johor – the Sultan Abu Bakar Complex (at the Second Link) and Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (Causeway).

The Home Ministry said the trial will continue in stages at five key international airports across the country, namely KL International Airport Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, Penang International Airport, Kuching International Airport and Kota Kinabalu International Airport. 

“The exercise will run until Feb 28 next year.

“During the trial period, the current QR code system and MyBorderPass application will remain in use for entry and exit procedures. However, the public, including foreign visitors, are encouraged to download the new MyNIISe mobile application, which can be used at activated entry lanes. 

“The app is available on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and Huawei App Gallery,” the ministry said in a statement.

It stressed that valid travel documents or passports are still required for immigration clearance as stipulated under the Immigration Act 1959/63.

“NIISe is a key reform initiative under the government’s agenda, and its implementation has been brought forward to September, from the original schedule of March 2026.

“Once the trial period ends, NIISe will replace the existing QR code system to enhance the efficiency of automatic security checks at the nation’s entry points,” it said.
