Currently, questions have arisen among the public regarding the use of the National Integrated Immigration System (MyNIISe) application and its relationship with the MyBorderPass application. The situation attracted the attention of the Director-General of Immigration, Datuk Zakaria Shaaban, who came forward to provide an explanation to avoid misunderstandings.
He stressed that the use of MyNIISe is not yet mandatory. Travellers entering or leaving Malaysia can still choose the existing method, either through the automatic entry gate using a passport or using a QR code via the MyBorderPass application. Therefore, tourists are not required to download and use MyNIISe for the time being.
However, he encouraged the public to use MyNIISe because the application is believed to speed up the immigration inspection process. Users only need to register important information via MyDigital ID, which in the future will be the only login method.
The Ministry of Home Affairs previously explained that the implementation of MyDigital ID is part of the NIISe initiative. The initiative aims to verify user identities more securely through the National Registration Department (JPN) database without storing any personal data.
