What should I put as the departure date on the TDAC when entering Thailand with a DTV? I don’t have a return date yet, and I noticed that DTV isn’t listed among the reasons for not providing a departure date
Answer summary
When filling out the TDAC (Traveler Declaration and Arrival Card) for entry into Thailand with a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV), it is acceptable to leave the departure date field blank, as it is not a mandatory requirement. Several individuals have confirmed that they successfully entered Thailand without providing a departure date.
