TLDR : Answer Summary
Signing a long-term lease while on a 30-day visa exemption in Thailand is generally not legally restricted, but practical challenges may arise. Landlords may request a two-month security deposit plus the first month’s rent, and they may require proof of a long-term stay in Thailand to secure the lease. In some cases, tenants might need to pay several months' rent in advance or negotiate a one-month deposit, depending on the landlord's policies.

Other than if you can't secure a way to stay for the term of your lease and hafta bail out you'd lose your deposit, nope,

I always negotiated 1 month deposit.

Legally no but it is up to the landlord. Standard is a two month security deposit with the first month rent when you sign the contract.

You might be asked to pay several months rent in advance unless you can prove you will be in Thailand for the long term.

It’s all up to the landlord
