Just completing my TDAC for entry back into Thailand, the departure date is not mandatory, has anybody had any issues leaving this blank?

I already have my DTV this is my first exit.
Answer summary
The departure date is not mandatory on the TDAC form for re-entry into Thailand, and several users have reported no issues with leaving it blank. For added peace of mind, some recommend purchasing a low-cost onward ticket.

It doesn’t have an * next to it so it’s not mandatory 👌

I doubt you will have issue but if you want peace of mind pay the $10-$15 for an onward ticket to use for departure
