In a couple of days I am going to fill out the tdac online. I am on a non-o based on retirement one year extension with a multiple entry permit. I am going to use the Visa input box on the tdac in lieu of an ongoing ticket. I want to use the Visa number off the multiple entry permit that I'm curious as to which number to use as there are two numbers. One number is part of the stamp and in the same color and the other number is a handwritten ink number. I'm assuming that this handwritten black ink number is the actual Visa number. Can you clarify this for me anybody. Thank you in advance
Answer summary
The user seeks clarification on which Visa number to use on the TDAC for a multiple entry permit associated with a Non-O Visa based on retirement. They note two numbers on the permit, one stamped and another handwritten, and question which one to provide. Responses suggest that filling in the Visa number is voluntary, and mention using the handwritten number is common practice. Others affirm that not all information is necessary for the TDAC.

Just don't bother filling in any of the not-required fields. Your TDAC has nothing to do with an ongoing ticket. You're not required to fill in visa number, and you're not required to fill in departing flight information. It's called an arrival card and your arrival details are the only required fields.

You do not need to fill in any visa number. It is a voluntary question. There is no red* on that question.

I saw it ask for type of visa I think, but not a number. Maybe I didn't notice.
