Singaporeans travelling to or from Johor Bahru can soon enjoy passport-less immigration clearance using QR codes, as Malaysia begins a trial run for its National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe) on 22 September 2025.
The MyNIISe app will cover Malaysians and travellers from 63 countries and territories, including Singapore, at the two land checkpoints in downtown JB and the Second Link.
The MyNIISe – pronounced “my nice” – app will help reduce congestion at the two Johor checkpoints, which see more than 300,000 people crossing daily. Cmmuters travelling in groups can also clear immigration checks using a single QR code. This is an improvement over the current MyBorderPass app used by Malaysians, which requires each traveller to scan a QR code for immigration clearance.
The app will also be used for the single immigration clearance system for the upcoming Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link, where passengers will need to clear both Singapore and Malaysia immigration only at the point of departure.
Note that travellers should still carry their passports or valid travel documents with them.
As part of the trial, 27 immigration booths at the Johor Bahru checkpoint are equipped to recognise the MyNIISe app: eight booths each for inbound and outbound cars, seven for motorcycles exiting Malaysia and two each for commuters at the departure and arrival halls.
Meanwhile, at the Second Link checkpoint, 24 booths will be opened: six for cars, four for motorcycles and two for pedestrians per direction.
While the use of MyBorderPass will continue during the NIISe trial, Malaysians and foreign visitors are encouraged to use the MyNIISe app,.
The MyNIISe app is now available on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and Huawei App Gallery.
