The new Crew Card is a voluntary service offer for employees on Borkum who have been on the island for less than two years due to their employment relationship or who do not meet the criteria of the AG EMS islander certificate. All you need is your first permanent residence on Borkum, which can also be registered as “temporary” during seasonal operations.

After presenting the Crew Card, it is possible to use all tourist facilities at the normal price. The Crew Card shows the holder to be employed professionally and with a registered residence in Borkum. The card will be personalized and provided with a photo taken on site. It is available for the amount of 10 euros at the guest contribution box on the Kulturinsel.

The introduction of the Crew Card is scheduled for April 17, 2023. “We have received an increasing number of inquiries from employers in Borkum to find a solution for their employees that would allow them to easily visit, for example GezeitenlandIt makes ~ Water & Wellness possible without having to pay an additional payment every time, even though the employees live in Borkum. “The Crew Card is an important step and an attractive offer for employees,” reports Pia Hosemann, deputy tourism director at Nordseeheilbad Borkum GmbH. “There is a form that is simply printed out by the employer for its employees and stamped by the registration office when they re-register. After presenting the completed form, the crew card can be issued at the guest contribution box,” adds Wiard Byl, head of the guest contribution box.
