Answer summary
A user inquired about the need for a visa when making a one-day trip from Thailand to Jakarta to pick up their daughter. They mentioned being on a retirement visa. Community members clarified that there are no new entry visa requirements, but emphasized the importance of obtaining a re-entry permit if they do not already have a multi-entry retirement visa. They also mentioned the introduction of a digital arrival card starting May 1st, which must be completed before returning to Thailand.

Go pick her up and come back, but be certain that you have a re-entry.

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
