Would be interested to know people's thoughts on completing the departure information for holders of Non-O retirement visas? I'm returning to my apartment in mid May and have flight booked but no idea when I'll be departing next. Just fill in a placeholder the day before the expiry of my current visa in October? Although I'll likely make several more sightseeing trips away before then.

The earliest you can submit one is 72 hours before you arrive <- IF you're arriving ON or AFTER May 1st

The system goes "live" on April 28th (for people arriving May 1st or later)

I’ve seen a post claims that it is 72 hours before.

Can you share the source please?

@Saw *******

So you think that 73 hours before is too soon and 71 hours before is too late? 72 hours before arrival and any time after that is when you complete the DTAC up to the point where you hand over your passport.
