History
[edit]Prior to NIISe, Prestariang Berhad signed a concession agreement in 2017 to develop the National Immigration Control System (Malay: Sistem Kawalan Imigresen Nasional – SKIN).[4] However on 10 December 2019, the project was scrapped by the Pakatan Harapan government favouring a more cost effective alternative.[5] Prestariang SKIN later agreed to a RM201.45 million settlement with the government on 24 March 2025.[6] On 25 May 2022, a Iris Corporation Berhad subsidiary secured a Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN) contract worth RM1.12 billion to develop NIISe within a period of 54 months.[7][8] On 23 May 2023 the contract was extended by 12 months[9] before it was terminated by KDN later on 10 August for material breach of timeline.[10][11][12]
On 18 October 2024, the NIISe contract worth RM892.2 million was awarded to HeiTech Padu after a request for proposal also participated by Theta Edge and Datasonic Group.[13] The contract value was subsequently raised by RM157.8 million to RM1.05 billion due to the addition of an Automated Biometric Identification System.[14][2] By 9 March 2025, data migration works from MyIMMs to the NIISe database was initiated.[15][16] The process included 20 patch-on systems developed by Bestinet, S5 Systems and Ultra Kirana.[17]

National Immigration Command Centre
[edit]The National Immigration Command Centre (NICC) serves as the centralised centre for the integrated monitoring, coordination and control of the NIISe system.[19] It is based at the department's headquarters in Putrajaya, with regional centres located in Kota Kinabalu and Kuching.[20][21]
Advanced Passenger Screening System
[edit]Advanced Passenger Screening System (APSS) is an electronic data interchange system that vets and performs risk assessment processes before travellers depart for Malaysia.[22] The system is designed to reduced the amount of Not-To-Land incidents and strengthen national security by assessing passenger profiles from their country of origin including criminal records, and visa status.[23][24] The APSS utilises the SITA Intelligence and Targeting platform provided by SITA at a cost of RM60 million.[25][23]
The first phase of APSS was launched on 31 October 2025 and involved 10 airlines including Malaysia Airlines, VietJet Air, Emirates, Scoot and US-Bangla Airlines.[26][27]
Digital arrival card
[edit]The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) is a mandatory digital arrival card for all foreign visitors entering Malaysia.[28][29]
eGate
[edit]The NIISe eGate is the automated border control module of NIISe,[30] it was introduced nationwide in phases and designed to phase out the MyIMMs-integrated eGate.
MyTrip and MyRentas were made available for Malaysians as the first proof of concept for QR code eGate on 1 June 2024, MyTrip was embedded in MySejahtera and utilised in Sultan Abu Bakar Complex (KSAB) while MyRentas was utilised in Sultan Iskandar Building (BSI).[31][32] Following the successful trial phase, MyTrip and MyRentas were phased out in July 2024 and transitioned to MyBorderPass, the second proof of concept.[33][34] MyBorderPass is available in BSI, KSAB, Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 1 and 2 (KLIA T1 & T2), and Penang International Airport (PIA).[35][36]
On 22 September 2025, MyGate QR was deployed in the MyNIISe app and underwent trial in BSI and KSAB car lanes and later motorcycle and pedestrian lanes on October 15.[37][38][39] By 1 March 2026, MyNIISe eGates were deployed alongside MyBorderPass eGates in KLIA T1 & T2 and PIA.[40] MyNIISe is expected to be rolled out to Kota Kinabalu International Airport and Kuching International Airport on 15 March 2026.[40][41]
