Embassy rules are clear. You must remain in the jurisdiction of the embassy during the entire application period. Leaving is grounds for your application to be rejected with no refund.

The embassies near Thailand are very strict about this and like to do random checks like asking you for a receipt showing you're still in the country or calling you in for an interview.

It's only for visa exempt.

when my credit cards start getting $1 charges I know it's time to call my credit card company

These are questions you need to be asking your employer. They will tell you if they can convert to non-B inside Thailand (most employers can't or won't) and if they can they will tell you how much time you need left and if you need to apply for extension or not.

If you are the property owner then you register on the TM30 website as the property owner and you can issue the TM30 to yourself.

Non-immigrant visa is a visa for someone who wants to reside in Thailand. A DTV only allows 180 day stays. It is not a non-immigrant visa obviously. And the law that created it very specifically calls it a tourist visa.

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking.

First, you apply for the 90-day non-O visa from the Thai embassy in your home country. You show the amount of money that your embassy requires in your home bank account to meet the requirements.

Then, you travel to Thailand. Use your non-O visa to open a bank ASAP and transfer the money into the account. The money must bein your account for 2 full months when you apply for the 1-year extension.

You will both need your own visa, and you will both need your own bank account with 800,000 baht.

None of those things are TM30. A TM30 from the property owner is required by immigration for most things.

Download all 3 bank statements as PDF documents. Then use a website tool to combine the PDFs into a single pdf file and upload it.

Any of those will work as long as they have your name and address.
