I don't live in the United States, and haven't for awhile. Can I still file for bankruptcy?

To be eligible you must either reside in a state you are filing in, own a business or property in that state or that you must have resided in that state for 180 days prior to filing bankruptcy. If those doesn't apply to you, you cannot file bankruptcy in the US until you return and do those all over again - stay for 180 days, go away again, but you would have to appear for the creditors/trustee's meeting..i think, not sure.
Can somebody please verify these?

I don't think it still makes any sense for you to file bankruptcy if you're away from the country. Why not start over in your new location instead?

Right. On the practical scheme of things, it may waste you time and money.
