PETALING JAYA: Motorists entering or leaving the country via Johor will soon be able to clear immigration using a QR code when the trial run of the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe) begins tomorrow, says the Home Ministry.
It said that the trial run of NIISe will involve two of the country’s busiest checkpoints, namely Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (BSI) in Johor Baru and Kompleks Sultan Abu Bakar (KSAB) at the Second Link, but will be limited to car lanes in its initial phase.
At BSI, the trial will cover 16 car lanes (eight inbound and eight outbound), while 12 car lanes (six inbound and six outbound) will be involved at KSAB.
To use the QR code clearance, motorists must first download the MyNIISe mobile application.
The app is available on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Huawei App Gallery.
Motorists can then generate individual or group QR codes through the app, which will be scanned at designated car lanes during immigration checks.
To ease the transition, the ministry said guides and instructions will be made available to the public through posters and videos on its social media platforms.
The ministry said the response so far has been encouraging, with more than 10,000 downloads of the MyNIISe app recorded as of Sept 19.
“During the trial period, the ministry welcomes user feedback, which may be submitted via email at support_myniise@imi.gov.my,” it said.
