While converting a sentence to passive voice:
• Find the subject and object of the sentence and exchange their places; make changes in their cases as well if subject and object are pronouns.

Infinitive, not Bare Infinitive.
For eg. He was made to wash all the clothes by me. (Passive Voice)
I made him wash all the clothes. (Active Voice)
Following the above-mentioned rule, we finally get “The authority bade the migrant leave the country.”
