The IRS will not make a direct deposit to a foreign bank account. You can have your tax refund mailed to you in the form of a paper check which you will need to deposit in your bank account

Thank you! How can they issue the check? And how long will it take for me to receive that?

When your refund is approved the check comes from the US Treasury. I do not know how long it takes for a check to travel through the mail to your country.
