Car insurance

My Grandmother is a Dual Citizen. Born and raised in Tahiti. Moved and currently lives in Honolulu, Hawaii. We travel to F.P. every year and had purchased a car ther roughly 4 years ago. We had insurance and everything but, due to the pandemic, we were unable to travel for two years. Finally went back to take care of the bills and were told we could no longer get/renew our insurance for the car. Due to residency. But yet, she travels there 3 mo ths at a time twice a year. The car is brand new still and we drive it twice a year when we go to F.P.  Is there a way to get insurance for the vehicle? It would be a total waste to give it back. Esp when its almost paid off. Thank you for your time.
