scoobby, a few registrars are offering a local presence service which should let non-Asia residents register .asia names by providing a local Asia contact. Usually this involves an additional fee of $5-$20/year. This type of service appears to work much as domain privacy services do, so its best to trust the company you will be dealing with (since they will technically have control over the name)
Here is a article which explains how non Asia-residents can satisfy the .ASIA Charter Eligibility Requirement . Oops. Can't include links yet. You can find it by Googling ".asia domain landrush".
