In March 2019, Swirad received his first call-up to the Malaysia national football team, but a groin injury prevented him from making his debut. Malaysia national team head coach Tan Cheng Hoe spoke highly of Swirad during his call-up: "I’ve been monitoring him since last year, and to me, he is a quality player. He is versatile and able to play anywhere at the back. I hope to see him recover quickly and make his national debut as a centre back against Singapore." Nick received his second call-up in 2022, ahead of the AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup. However family issues prevented him from joining up with the main team during the first week of training camp and he was then placed on the standby list.
