TLDR : Answer Summary
The TDAC (Thailand Arrival Card) does not require you to fill out a departure date, as it is not marked as a mandatory field. However, some airlines may still ask for a departure date before boarding, especially if you are on a visitor visa or visa-exempt entry. If you are on a long-term visa (such as a retirement O visa), airlines generally will check your visa instead of requiring onward travel details.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be tdac.in.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

the question was about filling out the new TDAC on arrival in thailand and whether you have to have a departure date to complete it. A departure date in not mandatory when filling out a TDAC.

@Graeme *****
either way the Airlines do ask for a departure date.even if it's not mandatory n get approved the Airlines can denied the boarding n your TDAC arrival card becomes unworthy for further use

@Frankie ******
it depends if you are on a retirement O visa or other long term visa then you do not need any onward travel or departure details the airline will just ask to see your visa. If you are traveling on a visitor visa or visa exempt then you airline may ask for onward travel details but you would need to check with the airline
