Hi all. Arriving with DTV visa on Jan 28th. Filling out my DTAC form and form requests a departure date. I updated departure date of July 22, 2026 using tentative (not yet booked) flight to HK. Question- must I book a departure flight now or can I wait?
Answer summary

Several comments clarified that while indicating a departure date is requested, it is not compulsory. Users stated that this field can be left blank or updated later, confirming that a binding departure flight does not need to be booked immediately.

It is not a compulsory field, so leave it blank. If you have filed a date, it is not binding.

You can leave it blank or update it again last minute.
