Hi
As far as I know and according to the Toshiba EMAE Warranty page, Toshiba Laptops, Netbooks and Smartbooks are covered by at least 1 year EMEA standard warranty, valid from the date of purchase.
This warranty is only applicable in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa)
You can find more details here on this Toshiba European page:

Here you can find the EMEA warranty info pdf file.

So if you are outside the EMAE region and if you don’t have purchased additional warranty extensions, then you have to pay for the service
