If I stay at the airport transit hotel, can I leave the airport when I arrive in CMB and return to the airport, go through security, and check into the transit hotel later in the evening (around 11 pm or so), or would I be stuck at the airport the entire time?
You'd just need to check if your eligible for the visa on arrival. Else you could always apply online at
