Do you have to book an onward ticket with DTV? I'm filling out my TDAC and it asks for departure information.

TLDR : Answer Summary
You do not need to book an onward ticket when completing the TDAC for DTV. Comments suggest that while filling out the form, the departure information section is not required and can be left out, as it has not caused issues with Thai immigration.
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.

In my case, I just picked a date for departure but no onward ticket needed and no problem at Thai airport immigration

Departure information is not required on the TDAC for anyone. Don't touch that section and it will not be required
