Over 350,000 have registered for QR code system at JB checkpoints

ISKANDAR PUTERI – More than 350,000 people have registered for the National Integrated Immigration System (NIISe) to use QR code lanes at the Johor-Singapore border.

Johor state’s Works, Transportation, Infrastructure and Communication Committee chairman Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh said the uptake among Malaysian users, however, remained lower than expected.

“As of Oct 30, some 358,000 people have registered for NIISe and I hope to see more participation from Malaysians.

“For motorcycles, which

, about 15,000 Malaysians and 800 Singaporeans have used the system to date, so a total of about 16,000 users in the first two weeks,” he told the media on Oct 30.

He said there are seven motorcycle QR lanes (outbound) at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex (BSI) in Johor Bahru, while at the Sultan Abu Bakar CIQ complex (KSAB) at the Second Link, there are four lanes each for inbound and outbound.

Additional inbound motorcycle lanes are also being fitted with the NIISe system at BSI, Mr Mohamad Fazli said, adding that users were mostly satisfied with the system so far.

He also urged more Malaysians to download the MyNIISe app and register as they can use it for cars, motorcycles and buses.

The trial run for the QR code system for immigration clearance in the motorcycle and pedestrian lanes at Johor’s two land checkpoints with Singapore began on Oct 15 while the trial run for cars began on Sept 22.

The NIISe system is open not only to Malaysians and Singaporeans but also to travellers from 63 countries who may use the QR code to enter Malaysia.

Citizens from 71 countries can use the system for departure.

The exercise will run until Feb 28, 2026. During the trial, the existing QR code system and the MyBorderPass app will remain valid for entry and exit. THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK
