Its exceedingly rare for a company to remote hire individuals internationally.
To hire internationally, a company needs to comply with labor and tax laws.
For most companies this is simply too expensive.
If a hiring company isn't large enough to already have a presence in the country where the labor is, they'll source to one that does. CompanyA in CountryA makes a SINGLE contract with CompanyB in CountryB, and it eliminates a ton of expensive HR/Legal overhead. More often CompanyA will contract with CompanyB who has cohorts in all the lower cost labor countries.
The only exceptions are for exceedingly rare resources who's value far exceeds the legal costs of setting up in a nation the company doesn't currently reside. I think I've heard of this happening once in my 15+ year SN career.
SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR YOU?
Look locally, especially at large scale GSIs and staffing firms who already exist in whatever nation you call home.
