Do I need to provide a return flight when populating the TDAC if I have a DTV?

I am trying to populate the TDAC, I am a bit unsure if I should put a return flight or not. I have a DTV and I normally stay several months and I have no idea when I will leave Thailand so I don't have a return flight. Should I just leave it blank?

TLDR : Answer Summary
You do not need to provide a return flight when populating the TDAC for a DTV visa. It's not mandatory to fill in that section unless indicated by a red asterisk. Many users have successfully completed the TDAC without providing a departure flight, as the authorities can confirm your visa status through your passport.
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 agents.co.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.

Put your DTV number in the visa number field and leave departure flight, it’s not mandatory. As soon as they scan your passport they know you have DTV. Most likely no questions asked, especially if you are freelance working

Leave it blank. I've done it 4 times, never added a return flight.
