TLDR : Answer Summary
A multiple entry tourist visa (METV) does not require a re-entry visa when leaving Thailand. As long as you exit Thailand within the validity of the visa, you can re-enter without needing re-entry permission. This is a key feature of the METV, allowing multiple entries during its validity period.
