TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses the need to navigate entry visa requirements for a one-day trip to Jakarta while on a retirement visa in Thailand to pick up a daughter. Community members clarify that there are no new entry visa requirements, but advise ensuring a re-entry permit is obtained before departure if not on a multi-entry visa, and mention the upcoming digital arrival card to be used when re-entering Thailand.

There aren't any new visa requirements. I'm curious why and where people are reading the word "visa". We used to fill in paper arrival cards, they weren't visas, and aren't visas now. But am I missing some wording on the link?

 I don't need to do research. There's no new visa. There's a digital arrival card, similar to the old paper one. It starts 1st May. It is not a visa, and many people are telling you this. It's not us who need to do research.

Make sure you get a re entry permit before you leave Thailand. Unless you have a multi entry retirement visa already. Then before you fly back fill out on your phone the new digital arrival card for you and your daughter

 you don't do it 3 days before, you can possibly do it as little as 3 minutes before (but not recommended)
