The phased rollout will integrate existing e-gates with the MyNIISe system, starting at Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminals 1 and 2, before expanding nationwide, The Star newspaper reported.
Under the new system, travelers will be required to scan a MyNIISe QR code before proceeding through immigration e-gates.
The Home Ministry is currently integrating the MyNIISe mobile application with existing platforms, including MyBorderPass, in preparation for the launch.
MyNIISe is Malaysia's new integrated immigration system, replacing the decades-old myIMMS.
It is designed to enhance border security while enabling faster, more transparent and resilient cross-border movement as a long-term national solution, Malay Mail reported.
The ministry said the initiative aims to shorten waiting times, improve the efficiency of immigration clearance and provide travelers with a faster, safer and more convenient experience.
The MyNIISe QR code system will be installed at 46 pedestrian e-gates across five major international airports: KLIA Terminals 1 and 2, Bayan Lepas International Airport, Kota Kinabalu International Airport and Kuching International Airport.
Malaysian citizens who are existing MyNIISe users may continue using the current login method until Feb. 28, ahead of a full transition to MyDigital ID.
To ensure smooth entry and exit at national borders, travelers will also retain alternative options, including the MyBorderPass application, passport scanning at MyNIISe and existing e-gates, as well as manual immigration counters.
