Malaysia to Launch Nationwide Digital Immigration System with Biometric Technology in 2026
Malaysia plans to launch the National Integrated Immigration System (MyNIISe) nationwide from September 2026 to modernize border control and reduce airport queues. The system will use facial recognition, QR code scanning, passport verification, and automated e-gates to cut immigration processing time to four to five seconds per passenger. MyNIISe will replace the nearly two-decade-old MyIMMs platform, aiming to enhance passenger flow and border security amid rising travel demand.
