I wanted to know if literary agents accept manuscripts from outside their home country. Please tell me a few names if you know them (those who accept online submissions). Also, would it be necessary for me to fly off to their place to sign the contract?

All Answers To Questions

Go to agent query and look up agents who deal with your genre. Follow their guidelines posted on their website. Keep writing.

YES, most agents will accept manuscripts written by foreign authors, and NO, you do not have to fly anywhere to sign anything (fax machines and snail mail work just fine for that). There are plenty of reputable agents who take email queries and submissions and have fax machines for sending and receiving documents, and the only problem with foreign authors that I know of are tax issues (but agents are used to this so it's not a big deal at all). Agentquery.com is a good resource. Seach by genre, read their bio, visit their webpage, pick those that accept email, and follow their guidelines. If you want to let them know you reside in a foriegn country, you can do tht in the query letter. So long as your manuscript is good, that is really all that matters.
