In the case of insurance licensees originally licensed as exempt companies, the CBB will consider the granting of temporary individual waivers on a case-by-case basis from the requirements in Paragraph AU-2.2.1. In all cases, the CBB's objective is to require all such companies that wish to remain licensed by the CBB, to have a suitable office in the Kingdom of Bahrain. This requirement means that knowledgeable staff should be resident in Bahrain.
