"getting a remedy against such cases might be hard if they have no presence in the EU"

If they process the personal data of 'data subjects who are in the Union' and are 'a controller or processor not established in the Union' (GDPR Article 3(2)) they are obliged to designate a representative in the EU (Article 27(1)) and declare the representative's contact details (Articles 13(1(a)), 14(1(a))).

However the interpretation of the term 'in the Union' under Article 3 (and elsewhere) remains to be fully established by precedent.
