When does this passport expire?? Does this passport expire on 9 May 2025 or a later date?

Don't bother entertaining the idea of submitting any Thai Visa application in-person anywhere in the world at any Thai Embassy/Thai Consulate for a Thai Visa Sticker as all 94 Thai Embassies/Consulates around the world will be on the stickerless (PDF) Thai E-Visa on 1 January 2025.

Also, don't bother going to Manila as the cut off date is earlier than the Thai Office in Taipei's cutoff on 27 December 2024.

And, Manila is essentially closed for normal business until the New Year 2025....

Unfortunately, it is too late for a walk up/appointment in-person Thai Visa anywhere....

Yes, unlike the Thai Embassy in Seoul where in the Korean language instructions for Thai E-Visa applications and Thai E-Visa information that state that documents must be in English language, at the Thai Embassy in Paris, in the French language Thai E-Visa application instructions and information, it states that documents can be in either French or English language « une lettre (en français et en anglais) » And, at the Thai Embassy in Brussels, several Thai E-Visa application instructions and information are in French and Dutch languages and no specific requirement to have only English language documents....

you could try to get your entry stamp corrected at a local Thai Immigration Office, but more often than not, you will have to go back to whichever airport you made entry into Thailand with and had made an incorrect entry stamp....

Actually, going by the Thai language text as published in the Royal Gazette of the Interior Ministry Notice promulgating the DTV Visa, or, more specifically, the Immigration Bureau Order implementing the DTV Visa does state " การ จัดแสดง ศิลปะ และ ดนตรี " or as Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs translates it in their English language infographic as " music festivals " :

if one were to attend music festivals, then could possibly try applying for a DTV Visa as there have yet to be any field reports of anyone trying or successfully obtained a DTV by music festivals at any Thai Embassy/Consulate....

if documents are in the French language and a Thai E-Visa applicant does not want to translate those documents to the English language, then they could travel to France, Monaco, Belgium, or Luxembourg and apply at the Thai Embassy in Paris or Brussels. One could inquire with the Thai Embassy in Berne to see if they might accept documents in the French language, then, if so, could travel to Switzerland as well....

If applying at a Thai Embassy/Consulate in Asia, then nearly all would demand translations into the Thai or English language....

"...

Please keep these closures in mind when planning your e-Visa application as e-Visa processing takes a minimum of 10 working days.

Sure, why not?

However, the more salient issue before even crossing multiple hypothetical bridges are:

With a valid DTV which is Multiple Entry and valid for 5 Years, how demanding will the local Thai Immigration Office in Thailand be in converting your DTV to a Non-B Visa?

Will a Thai Immigration Office even convert a DTV Visa in-country to a Non-B Visa and question the initial underlying justifications submitted with the initial DTV Visa application?

However, the more likely scenario will be: How demanding will the Thai Embassy/Consulate be in cancelling a DTV Visa that is Multiple Entry and Valid for 5 Years and subsequently issuing a Thai E-Visa Non-B Visa?

In this other hypothetical, will a Thai Embassy/Consulate tell the Thai E-Visa applicant to go to the Thai Embassy/Consulate that originally issued the DTV Visa for them to cancel the DTV Visa first and subsequently lodge a Non-B Thai E-Visa application?

Also, will a Thai Embassy/Consulate even cancel a valid DTV Visa and question the initial underlying justifications submitted with the initial DTV Visa application?

Congratulations, Thank You very much for your report, and Safe Travels to Thailand!
