Flexibility on the part of immigration officer = Nil.

Emergency visas can be arranged in VERY limited circumstances but will require the airline to sponsor them and other hoops jumped through. Do not consider this option.

If you have a flight departing within 2-3 hours, you do not need to clear immigration - just proceed to the International Transfer desk and let the staff there sort everything out for you. There are dozens if not hundreds of passengers who do this daily.
