Also, does "sealed route" include airport shower facility and dining area (cafe and restaurants)?

Pre-departure COVID test is not required for the destination country (London Heathrow) and neither is health insurance covering US$20,000. However, it's pretty obvious health insurance covering said amount is required even for transit passengers spending less than 24 hrs at Suvarnabhumi. I raised the question because there's a conflicting information between Thailand Pass FAQs PDF issued by foreign ministry (link posted by ubonjoe) and Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand announcement (link below) that does not mention pre-flight COVID test as requirement (dated April 7th, 2022). The planned flight (Tokyo, Narita → BKK → HRW) is 2 months away and there's a good chance it will all be scrapped if Thailand Pass is abolished by then. However, with all the variables it's hard to book the flight beforehand while the TG sales lasts. As you said, I should probably ask the airline. https://www.caat.or.th/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/guidelines-Inter-flight-with-Transit-Transfer-passegers-TH-ENG.pdf

Is the negative COVID test still required for transiting passengers after they abolished the pre-flight RT-PCR test for fully vaccinated Thailand Pass holders? Or is the pre-flight test supposed to substitute post-arrival test still mandated to all arrival passengers? And where can one buy 24 hrs health insurance?

Is it true when you're granted citizenship that they (Min of Interior?) will notify your embassy you are now a naturalized Thai citizen?

I heard from a border police/soldier at Khao Phra Wihan National Park in Sisaket that access to the Preah Vihear Temple that has been denied to all Thai passport holders either via border crossing with Thailand or from within the Cambodian border for the last 15 years has finally been allowed in recent years (but from within Cambodian borders only). Can anyone confirm if this is true? I'm planning a trip to the world heritage site with my Thai wife after the pandemic is over and all COVID restrictions lifted.

Thanks so much ubonjoe. Someone messaged me this link. https://www.thaicitizenship.com/thai-ancestry-visas/ I never knew such visa existed. I assume this is the same thing?

Please allow me to revive this thread. I went to the Immigration Bureau at Chaeng Wattana twice this year for different matters but also raised this issue and discussed with the officials there (PR section staffs). They've all shown keen interest in my case and most of them told me it doesn't matter if my visa expired and I ended up overstaying as foreigner so long I can prove with my Thai national ID card that I'm Thai. I'm not so sure if I can take my word for it and I'd rather leave a clean immigration record as a Japanese passport holder even if I can continue to stay legally as a Thai. BTW is there any name for that extension scheme? that you say I can apply on the ground that I'm a Thai citizen? No one at the Immigration Bureau suggested any such extension provision exists on both occasions I visited Chaeng Wattana. I've since managed to get another 2 years extension of my Non-Imm B visa but it will expire next April and this time around it's won't be extendable as my employment contract will cease next year. We're closing the company so there's no longer a company to sponsor my Non-Imm B. How do you extend Non-Imm B visa when your employer ceases to exist? The other option I was suggested is to change my visa to marriage visa which I assume I can do without leaving the kingdom.... Showing minimum 400,000 Baht deposit in Thai bank account is not an issue but how do I go around the min 40,000 monthly income when I go out of work? I'm asking this as me and my wife were looking for a short, getaway destination for the sake of putting an end to this neverending visa extension loop once and for all and start living afresh as a Thai citizen by leaving with a Japanese passport and returning with Thai (which I got issued for the first since my teenage year last year). We just got our int'l vaccine passport but unfortunately it looks increasingly like any hope for leaving Thailand without mandatory quarantine in Thailand if not in destination country too is a pipe dream now. And as some of you have suggested, they said they can't just give me an exit stamp on my Japanese passport at Chaeng Wattana just because I have a Thai citizenship.

The title says it all. Can one file 90 days report (TM47) at a provincial immigration office outside of your registered home province if you are unable to do so online or by mail? Immigration Bureau website says "For other provinces, notify at Immigration Checkpoint in local area where the alien resides." But if one can do the annual visa extension in the other provinces (so I heard) why not the 90 days report?
