History
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 Dagang NeXchange.[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 NIISe was initiated.[15][16]

Advanced Passenger Screening System
The Advanced Passenger Screening System (APSS) is a electronic data interchange system that vets and performs risk assessment processes before travellers depart for Malaysia.[18] 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.[19][20] The APSS utilises the SITA Intelligence and Targeting platform provided by SITA at a cost of RM60 million.[21][19]
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.[22][23]
Digital arrival card
The Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) is a mandatory digital arrival card for all foreign visitors entering Malaysia.[24][25]
eGate
MyTrip and MyRentas were made available for Malaysians as the first proof of concept for QR code electronic gate (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).[26][27] Following the successful trial phase, MyTrip and MyRentas were phased out in July 2024 and transitioned to MyBorderPass, the second proof of concept.[28][29][28] MyBorderPass is available in BSI, KSAB, Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 1 and 2 (KLIA T1 & T2), and Penang International Airport (PIA).[30][31]
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.[32][33][34] By 1 March 2026, MyNIISe eGates were deployed alongside MyBorderPass e-gates in KLIA T1 & T2 and PIA.[35] MyNIISe is expected to be rolled out to Kota Kinabalu International Airport and Kuching International Airport on 15 March 2026.[35][36]
