Dream job with a catch

I was applying for a job in a huge worldwide company, for a WFH position. First interview went great, they even called me the "ideal candidate". Sadly, they thought I was located in a different country than where I actually am located. Turns out they don't have a legal entity in my country and can't hire me for that purpose. I asked for a offer letter to get a work permit in another country.

I am super anxious since this position was awesome, a have a couple of good friends there, and the pay was more than twice of what I am making. However, I'm lost, not sure what the next logical move is. Anyone has experienced this or has tips? Thanks in advance!
