Normally, companies want you to be either in the same country (or state in the US) that they are in, or at least to be in the same general location as one of their offices. Otherwise, taxation gets too complicated.

Is there a specific reason you are only looking for remote work?

If you're looking for a US based company for remote work with sponsorship that's a current tough ask for most companies. It's not financially in their best interest for MOST positions, as there are plenty of candidates to work with on jobs posted. The pool of remote work to work anywhere in world is going back to a niche opportunity.

It depends on what skills/education/experience a company is looking for.

Your post is a bit confusing. You want a remote job, in your country, but with a global company? Why would they need to sponsor you if you are not changing countries?

I’m thinking you are asking about working remotely outside of the US? If so it depends on the company. If a global company and they offer remote you may be able to work in one of there countries. I am also aware that due to security concerns and internet connections, some US companies will not allow you to work outside of the country. That was the case with my sister. During the pandemic she was stuck somewhere in South America. The company was able to track her computer and she was fired from her job. She was unaware that remote meant US only. Something you should clarify if you are interviewing/offered a remote position

If you are working remotely for a global company they normally would not sponsor you to work from anywhere other than your home country, unless they are not registered to have employees in that country. Eg. If you are a remote worker looking for a US visa but your employer also has workers in your home country, they have no incentive to pay for your US visa since you’re not even coming in to a US office.

Companies always look at the cost/benefit breakdown of sponsorships - and many only sponsor when there is no local talent supply (that meets the position's needs). Also, sponsorship regulations are always set by the host country - do some research on the visa or resident alien programs in the country you want to live in and see if you qualify (a common one in the US is the H-1B visa). Because business, tax, and immigration laws vary worldwide, legit companies are not going to say "go live and work from anywhere," that would be a major risk for them.
