A pilot project for testing a QR code immigration clearance system in Johor is slated for June, according to state immigration director Baharuddin Tahir. The
project will take place at the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar and Sultan Abu Bakar Complex Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine .
The move follows after Singapore's own introduction of using QR codes instead of passports for those arriving and departing the country back in March. Once fully implemented, the same convenience can also be enjoyed by travellers on the Malaysian side, though any information regarding the local version has yet to be detailed.
The upcoming pilot phase will primarily focus on providing QR code immigration clearance to factory buses travelling through BSI and KSAB. Baharuddin emphasised that if the project proceeds smoothly, it will expand to include other modes of transportation. However, he did note that the start date may be subject to change depending on the readiness of the infrastructure and system development.
Efforts to streamline processes between Malaysia and Singapore were highlighted during the signing of the memorandum of understanding for the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone on January 11. Both countries pledged to explore initiatives, including the adoption of QR code systems, to facilitate smoother immigration clearance processes.
