80,000 Register For New QR Immigration System at Johor-Singapore Checkpoints

The new QR code immigration system at Johor’s two busy border checkpoints to Singapore has gotten off to a strong start, with more than 80,000 people registering since its rollout.

Part of the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe), the MyNIISe mobile app was first introduced for cars on Sept 22 and has since been expanded to cover motorcyclists, pedestrians and bus passengers from Oct 15 at both the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar (BSI) and Sultan Abu Bakar (Second Link) Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) complexes.

The digital system allows travellers to scan a personal QR code for faster and smoother clearance, cutting down queues at the country’s busiest land crossings.

For now, the new system will run alongside the existing MyBorderPass app, which continues to serve around 400,000 Malaysians. The Home Ministry clarified that both QR systems are separate and must be used with their respective machines.

“The public, including foreign visitors, are encouraged to transition to MyNIISe when passing through entry points that have activated the new system,” the ministry said.

Travellers from 63 countries can now use the MyNIISe QR code to enter Malaysia, while citizens from 71 countries are eligible for departure through the same system.

The trial phase will gradually expand to five major international airports which are KLIA Terminal 1 and 2, Penang, Kuching, and Kota Kinabalu and continue until Feb 28, 2026.

The MyNIISe app is available for free on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and Huawei AppGallery, with step-by-step guides shared on official social media channels.

Even with the convenience of the digital system, travellers are still required to carry their passports or valid travel documents when crossing the border.
