Hi! When applying online. You’ll be asked about you day of arrival and adress of stay.. even the day of departure. I think many people come on a one way ticket. So how do I fill out these boxes?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Thai visa online, you may encounter fields asking for your day of arrival, address of stay, and day of departure. This raises concerns for applicants who haven't booked tickets yet. One commenter noted they didn't have tickets but intended to travel if granted the visa. Another user reached out to their embassy and was informed that exact dates may not be necessary. However, it's recommended to review terms and conditions of potential tickets to provide plausible dates, especially as some applicants have been asked for confirmed travel arrangements during the assessment process.

I don’t understand it. I don’t have tickets yet. I want to go if I get the visa. But how can I provide any exact dates when I didn’t book yet?

Or do you mean I just take any flight numbers that kinda makes sense?

In certain situations applicants have been asked for confirmed tickets during the course of application assesment.

You should look at tickets and T&C of the tickets and provide dates accordingly. Just in case you are asked for the proof, you'll be in a position to provide it.
