80,000 register for smoother Singapore travel using Malaysia’s QR code system


The implementation of a new QR code for easier immigration clearance at the two land checkpoints in Johor Bahru to Singapore has been well-received, with more than 80,000 people registering for the application.

The app, which was trialled for cars from Sept 22, was extended to

­motorcyclists, pedestrians and bus passengers

from Oct 15.

Those using the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe), which uses the MyNIISe mobile application, will now be able to use the motorcycle and bus halls at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex (BSI) and the Sultan Abu Bakar CIQ complex at the Second Link.

During this pilot phase, the current MyBorderPass and QR code system will remain operational for some 400,000 Malaysians.

A Home Ministry official said the public must use the QR code for MyBorderPass and MyNIISe ­separately with their respective machines, as they are currently not interchangeable.

“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 in a statement.

More information on using the app is available on the MyNIISe app itself and related social media channels.

The app is available for download on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and Huawei AppGallery.

Travellers from 63 countries and territories can use the MyNIISe QR code to enter Malaysia, while citizens of 71 countries and territories can use it for departure.

The Home Ministry has also said that the trial will continue in stages at five key international airports across the country, ­namely Kuala Lumpur 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, 2026.

During this period, the current QR code system and MyBorderPass app will remain in use for entry and exit procedures.

Travellers should still carry their passports or valid travel documents with them. THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
