I'm not sure how to phrase this in a blameless manner but the problem almost certainly is not the fact that you dropped out of college. In my experience (and the experience of most people I know who've applied for remote roles), implicit location/time zone requirements have been a way bigger disqualifier than education.

I'm also from a third world country (and not one with the best of reputations). I don't have a degree either and have way less work experience (or experience of any kind!) than you do. But I've found and held remote jobs, not with ease, but I did it. I did go through a period where it seemed I could not get a single interview, and what I eventually realised after feeling very sorry for myself was that I needed to both package myself better (my CV, while nicely formatted and free of errors, was pretty bad at conveying my strengths) and target my job search better. There are companies out there that are actually remote-friendly (or even remote-first), are open to hiring people outside North America and Europe, care about experience over tertiary education, and compensate well. Yet I kept applying to roles I knew I didn't have an equal (or any!) shot at largely because the companies were popular.
