ask for passports

 
     
  An expression sometimes used when a head of mission is recalled, temporarily or permanently, from the receiving state in protest at some aspect of its behaviour. The phrase derives from the fact that at one time the receipt of a passport, in effect an exit visa, was necessary for a foreigner to leave his country of residence.
