But as far as I know, there is no such thing as a passive いる (to be) or ある. How would that even work? I don't think you can make a passive construction out of a stative verb in any language because the definition of "passive" requires a shift in theme/patient (aka object/target) to subject, and there's no theme/patient with a stative verb.

But then again, it could just be a language issue—maybe you're just not terribly familiar with what we call certain grammatical terms in English. After all, we did basically arrive at the same translation at the end anyway.
あしたおられますか but if not wrong it used only in 関西弁, so it is not valid LOL
It should equal to あしたいらっしゃいますか
