I think we need to go back to first principles. Why is this requirement there? It's there to prove that this company actually really exists as a physical thing. I don't think it's there so you can go visit it; the use of that address is probably to serve legal papers there. So, I repeat my question: can you serve legal papers on the PO Box and have them be validly served? The thing is, if we accept the PO Box, we are replacing the EVG's standards for validating business physical existence with the standards of the Post Offices of various Middle Eastern countries. And those standards might vary, and not necessarily be as rigorous. (How does the Post Office lose out if you manage to get a PO Box without actually having a local business?)
