What’s happening with the DTV and new digital entry on May 1st?

Apperently you need to input an outbound flight? Obviously this shouldn’t really apply to DTV or those with work permits
Answer summary
Starting May 1st, there are new digital entry requirements in Thailand that all non-Thai citizens must follow when entering through air, land, or sea. Although there was confusion regarding the necessity of providing outbound flight information, comments clarify that this information is not mandatory. The digital form, known as TDAC, replaces the old paper form previously distributed on planes, and users suggest it will be easy to complete, even at the airport upon arrival. While DTV holders were initially concerned about how these changes apply to them, inputs from the community indicate that the form will accommodate all visa types, including DTV, without the strict need for outbound flight details.

It is required for DTV as it is for other visas

A DTV is a tourist visa with a 6-month entry stamp. Why wouldn't the exit date apply?

Participante anónimo 740 Can be extended for up to 1 year, but rather than that, it should apply because one is not sure if when will be the next exit. Could be a few days later, a few months later or even a full year later.

A non-O is a 12-month stamp, extendable forever. Shouldn't they be exempt from showing a exit date?

Which is unlike "regular" tourists who MUST exit within 60 or 90 days.

It's for EVERYONE that isn't a Thai citizen. It's just replacing an old paper form they used to hand out on the plane with a new digital form. Many countries have a similar system.

I went through the form on a dummy run, assuming a land based entry by car. I entered a car license plate for entry and while I also entered the same one for exit there is no need to enter outbound travel details.

The real problem is the form asks for country of residence and Thailand isn't an option lol

Thailand never considers a nonThai part of their country. You are just a guest and ATM. If you can accept that, you can have the best life here.
