You probably won’t find a good PhD program that is “advertised” as being online. There are just too many variables. That said, it’s absolutely possible to work something out with your advisors that is effectively remote, assuming that most of your courses can be taken remotely and your research doesn’t require tools/resources that you cannot access remotely.
I’m doing my PhD in cognitive science at an international university (I live in the states). Plenty of online coursework has been made available to me to meet those requirements. But I am 100% responsible for proposing and executing remote advisement/evaluation. I’m also required to visit the university at 1–2 times per year for 1–3 weeks per visit.
