Do I need to provide departure flight details on the TDAC for my visa application in Thailand?

THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.

Hi All.. for the TDAC it asks for flight details and departure details. I've never been asked for departure flight but the Tdac asks for details. Last year i brought a departing flight just so i had one but was never asked to see it and to be honest i've never been asked for departure flight. so has anyone just put a departure flight on the tdac which they haven't purchased?
Answer summary
The TDAC form requests flight and departure details; however, some users report that departure information is not consistently required or mandatory. It's emphasized that filling out the departure section could make it mandatory, and many have gone through the process without needing to present a departure flight. Some users suggest that putting in a non-purchased flight detail is a common practice, while others advise to simply leave that section untouched unless specifically required.

Don't answer them questions it becomes mandatory. I believe that's for when you leave the country .

Before the tdac I was asked for my return flight details a couple of times. I always keep a hard copy of my return flexi flight. On the tdac I put the return flight date and number.

Departure information and visa number are not mandatory information. Don't touch any part of the departure information and you don't have to fill it out. Touch any part of it and it all becomes mandatory.
