ORIGINAL POSTER
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 ❤️

TLDR : 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.
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.

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

คำสั่งสำนักงานตรวจคนเข้าเมือง ที่ ๑๐๖/๒๕๖๘ เรื่อง วิธีการยื่นรายการบุคคลต่างด้าวซึ่งเดินทางเข้ามาในหรือออกไปนอกราชอาณาจักร (แบบ ตม.๖) ทางอิเล็กทรอนิกส์ (Thailand Digital Arrival Card : TDAC)

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.
