Then initiate a chargeback. Depending on the card and your relationship with it, they could get your money back or they could accept FI's lame "not our fault, not your fault, but you get to pay for it" excuse.
It is solely the passenger's responsibility to have required documentation for admission to the destination and the airline is not required to refund where the passenger cannot travel due to something that is passenger's responsiibility
No more entitled to a refund in this case than if just turned up at airport without a passport and was denied travel

According to its website

Perhaps change to a date where may be able to travel and if the agent wants to try charging a change fee, refer to the policy
