The government has announced that it is targeting January 2027 for the wider rollout of the National Integrated Immigration System (MyNIISe), the new immigration clearance system. FMT cites Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail as saying that this will replace the existing MyIMMs system, which has been in place for over two decades.

This comes as part of the 2027 budget debate in the Dewan Rakyat, according to the report. “Starting January next year, we hope to roll out the system. This means travellers entering the country will undergo immigration checks using QR codes”, he said. “But to use the QR code, travellers must first download the MyNIISe application”, he clarified, to which he also added that “passports can still be used”. Further, he said that the Malaysian Digital Arrival Card will eventually be integrated into the app.
