ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : 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.
