Just wanted to share some information.

Entered Thailand through Bangkok Airport and filled out DTAC.

A mandatory information is, when and how you leave the country again.

As we with DTV Visa want to be a lil flexibel I asked immigration officer if it is mandatory for DTVs, as we have 6 month to leave and often don't wanna decide immediately...

She said: no problem, just leave it blank.

Not sure technically if blank is possible, as it is marked as mandatory, but I will leave it blank or add dummy and refer in case of further questions to conversation with officer, who advised not to fill out, as I have DTV and provable I am leaving country regularly.

Enjoy ❤️

Answer summary

Travelers entering Thailand with a Digital Visa (DTV) have the flexibility to leave the departure details section of the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) blank. Immigration officers have confirmed that this information is not mandatory for DTV holders. If travelers do fill it out, they can clear it to avoid mandatory status. The TDAC is primarily used for statistical purposes and does not impede immigration processes.

TM. is the romanization for ตม. or ตรวจคนเข้า เมือง = immigration

ตม.6 or alternatively TM.6 is a Thai immigration form and TDAC was created by and is used by Thai immigration

IMMIGRATION will not let you pass without a TDAC. So it doesn't matter what government agency requests the information, it is REQUIRED BY IMMIGRATION to enter Thailand.

It's only Mandatory if you start filling that section out. If you start, click the "clear" button next to the air, land or sea selection and it will go back to not mandatory.
