That has nothing to do with your visa.

You become a tax resident if you spend 180 days in Thailand in a calendar year. No matter what visa you have.
Steve *******
You enter your permanent address in the application and that is what's used. The info on your ID documents don't matter.
Steve *******
Yes. You only need your passport to buy the bike and a resident certificate to transfer ownership.

You don't actually need a license to buy one.

then they're not your spouse, according to Thai authorities, and therefore can't be your dependant.

Registered now.

You need a passport and a second document confirming your identity and/or address to access bank transfers (which is needed for QR scanning a grab driver etc.).

I used my Thai driver's license, but they accept a lot of different documents, including a house registration book or work permit.

Side note: you can't connect your bank account to Truemoney unless you're a Thai citizen. And Bangkok bank debit cards aren't accepted, on top of already having stopped working on Grab and Foodpanda.

As long as you're married, yes.
Steve *******
Technically you can. But it's against the rules and if you get caught your DTV visa will be denied.

I put my hotel as current address and my address in my home country as permanent address.
Steve *******
Yes, I hot mine on a Sunday evening (in Hong Kong)
