Find work in a country that has zero industry / find fully remote work in 2024?

Hello there. I have been struggling to find a job for quite a while now. I am stuck in a small country in Middle East. I dont speak the local language and neither am I going to learn it (dont have spare 10 years to learn a very local language completely unrelated to any of the ones I know). I am a game dev and as you couldve guessed there is 0 gamedev industry in the country and even if there was, they would require a decent if not fluent level of the local language. I cannot relocate because with how competitive the industry is, no one will bother with visa and work permit for anyone but seniors (and I am relatively fresh, only about 2 years of experience + BSc). I managed to get a job 2+ years ago due to the pandemic thing when everyone had no choice but to be remote and now it seems like no one is fully remote, let alone globally remote (all jobs go like "remote from NY" as if it mattered).

No one seems to care about the merit in the English-speaking world and everyone just wants me to have some papers. Is there a way to not starve to death for someone who doesnt have the "right" documents?

Sorry if I wasnt neutral enough, rest assured I am genuinely asking for advice and not just venting. Sorry for my broken apostrophe key lol
