Hi psygorn, Check first with an Asus rep. You may find them in this thread -

If the country where you are in has certified Asus centers and your country / region is supported by the "international warranty", then it would be ok.
In my case, I bought mine from Amazon and shipped it to where I am currently located. Sad to say that where I am is not a supported regaion by Asus despite the "international warranty" provision of the purchase provided by Asus.
If you are in Asia, Taiwan is right there (If i'm not mistaken, this is where Asus spung out originally).
Hope it works out for you. Let us know. Thanks.
