Iain M. Banks' _Culture_ novels have this all the time, with the
galaxy populated by plenty of humanoids and the Culture frequently
inserting its agents on backward planets.  Including Earth at one
point.

In _Perry Rhodan_, Atlan kept passing for a local on Terra on and
off for 10,000 years.

In the movies, _Under the Skin_ (2013) with Scarlett Johansson.

IIRC, in S. Andrew Swann's _Moreau_ novels the Race agents _barely_
pass as some sort of misshapen, presumably gene-engineered humans.
