BioWare has no plans for Dragon Age: The Veilguard DLC at this time, but that's largely because the team is focused on ensuring the game ships with a complete story that doesn't beg for a later ending, as was the case with Dragon Age: Inquisition.
When asked about potential future additions in an interview with YouTuber MrMattyPlays, game director Corrine Busche explains that she's a “huge fan” of Dragon Age: Inquisition's Trespasser expansion, which wrapped up the entire story with a nice bow and served as a bridge to the inevitable sequel. But Busche also says that Trespasser was “so integral to the story of Dragon Age: Inquisition, that it arguably should have been part of the base game.”
Busche mentions that because it's apparently a criticism BioWare was well aware of and wanted to avoid in The Veilguard. “We really wanted to make it the most complete package possible, from a player experience standpoint to narrative and everything in between,” he continues. “That's our focus right now.”

“It's hard to predict what the future holds,” Busche teases, “but I will say that we talked about whether this game should end after the first act and the answer was a resounding no: we needed to tell the entire story of The Veilguard.”
If an expansion to The Veilguard ever comes post-launch, it likely won't be an add-on, continuation, or epilogue to the main game, as Busche also notes the series' “rich tapestry of lore, concepts, people, and places” could also be ripe for DLC. “So never say never.”
