Can you withdraw Roth Ira funds to buy first home overseas without pen

[Guest saraemiller]

I will be emigrating to Australia in the next ten years, and can't find out if I can withdraw funds from my Roth Ira penalty free to purchase a first home, considering that the first home will be overseas. Any ideas or comments would be much appreciated!

No- the exception is for homes purchases in the US.
