TLDR : Answer Summary

The consensus is that a retirement visa does not require a re-entry permit for border bounces, as indicated by user comments. A multiple entry tourist visa (DTV) was also mentioned, but it was clarified that for retirement visas specifically, a re-entry is not necessary.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
