Forced layover in country for which you have no visa

Depends on the country and situation. In some areas, stranded passengers are taken to a nearby hotel but are restricted to that hotel.

I encountered this with a delayed flight in Asia. Fortunately my nationality allowed me visa free entry so I entered through the immigration line, the others were escorted direct to the hotel bus by immigration and airline staff. At the hotel their passports were held at the front desk and the doorman would only let those of us who had our passport out to explore. I ended up making a couple of trips to the local market for baby supplies for two couples stuck in the hotel.
