Landing at an airport for fuel to get turned around and leave is not the same as “entry” in an immigration sense, otherwise crew and passengers would need visas for every single country they have a transfer in despite never leaving the airport facilities. Given it was an emergency (lack of fuel, weather), I wouldn’t be surprised if there were an ICAO violation here for denying appropriate service to the aircraft and crew.
