Do I need to get an exit stamp in my passport when traveling back to Australia after receiving a retirement visa extension in Thailand?
Travelling back to Aus for the 1st time after receiving an annual extension on a retirement basis. Question: Do I need to get an exit stamp in the passport? TIA 😊
Answer summary
When traveling back to Australia for the first time after receiving an annual extension on a retirement visa in Thailand, you do not need an exit stamp in your passport if you use the automatic exit gates. Instead, it is crucial to obtain a re-entry permit before departure to preserve the validity of your visa extension upon returning to Thailand.

Recently confirmed this. Exit stamp is not needed through the E Gate. You will receive an entry stamp when you show your multi re-entry permit, on arrival back into Thailand.

You need a re-entry permit

If you use the scanned departure lane with your passport...no stamp received. It's saved by Thai Immigration in their computers.
BUT be sure to have a re-entry permit in your passport to be used when you return to preserve the current ending date of your extension of stay.

No, and you won’t get it if you use the automatic exit gates but you’ll need a re-entry permit until you come back.
