Easy Extension seems to require a US address. Is not possible to file with a foreign address? Thanks!

You cannot file an extension using Easy Extension with a foreign address. To use Easy Extension, a U.S. or APO/FPO/DPO address is required:https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3301328

If you have a foreign address, then you will need to paper-file using Form 4868:https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3301811

Taxpayers who are out of the country are granted a two month extension. Please see this IRS link: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/taxpayers-living-abroad
