How do I file for bankruptcy from another country?

I made some horrible financial mistakes where I used to live. I have tried to fix them but they have made paying bills from another country impossible! (Fees from sending money over just add to the debt). Now it's gotten to the point of no return... is there a way to file for chapter 7 from abroad without being there in person?

    There is the possibility that you could give someone in the USA the power of attorney to handle this matter for you by proxy. It's rare but possible.

    You have to file in the district in which you lived most recently.

    I believe it depends on the laws of what country you're trying to declare bankruptcy from.
