Is There a Thai immigration app you can apply for the TM-6 entry and exit stamp or just a link? What happens if you cannot do it 3 days in advance ,only 1 day in advance because of my work schedule offshore ?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The TM-6 form is now integrated into the TDAC system for entry and exit in Thailand. It can be filled out from 10 minutes and up to 3 days in advance of arrival. Although it may appear misleading in asking for return flight details, it's possible to complete the application shortly before arrival, even if your work schedule limits you to applying just 1 day before.

Ok I get it ,but it's misleading for expats living there as it asks for return flights out of Thailand even though I gave the number of my retirement visa ,still asks for departure flight number and dates

don’t have to fill in the departure information. These boxes are not ‘asterix’ and your info will pull through without it
