Where can a Jewish couple who married in Israel in an Orthodox Jewish ceremony but moved overseas, get divorced - in the country where they live, or do they have to come to Israel to do so ?

If there is mutual consent, they can arrange a 'get' abroad, where they live, if there is a Beth Din L'Getim(rabbinical court dealing with divorce ) officially recognized in Israel. Such a foreign court will have no jurisdiction to manage a divorce case – and can only operate where there is mutual consent to end the marriage. If, however, there is no mutual consent, then they will have to open a divorce file here in Israel.
