One just needs to be aware of different methods. For example, certain banks will assist you in opening a brokerage account of theirs by mail, while many will not. It is also usually possible to find information about individual foreign stocks in your native language; you just simply need to know where to look.
Singapore is infamously difficult to open a bank or brokerage account in as a non-resident. However, it is possible to open one without even visiting the country with the proper knowledge.
International investing the correct way can not only diversify you, but also be very profitable. Yet some people try to apply the standards of the market in their home country to others. This is foolish. Since stocks are bought by people, psychology plays a large factor in how a market moves, and understanding their culture and how they think is needed in order to be successful.
This does not mean that you need to be and think like people from another country, but you should keep up to date with news and recommendations from the locals. A stock that may seem undervalued to you, for example, may be simply kept low by a local phenomenon that you do not know of. Keeping yourself informed can solve problems such as these.
