A reasonable person would determine from your pattern of entry that you are a legitimate tourist, not someone scamming the system and living here. However, might be a good idea to bring some documentation concerning your work and prepare some answers. You are tourist but not something they see everyday.

Good luck

An emergency passport can be issued the next day and in some cases the same day.

I had a situation where a job offer came up but required 6 clear pages and the passport will not expire fore at least 6 months. I didn't have either. I explained this to a lady at the Bangkok consulate and she suggested an emergency passport which is good for a year. The embassy was very helpful.

Report from Jomtien Immigration 23 June pertaining to Thailand re-entry from USA. This morning I was told at the reception desk that further action on my TM-30 was unnecessary. Additionally, the very pleasant and helpful young lady at the desk provided me with a slip of paper determining my next 90 Report and proving my presence at Immigration.

In Bangkok, years back, they would send taxi drivers to do 90 day reports. It's my understanding that a representative, any representative, can do a 90 day

I don't know about Thailand but make sure you are stamped OUT.

I worked as a military contractor in the Middle East and Central Asia. We would fly in commercial and fly out military. Often we would have to look for somebody to stamp us OUT. In several cases someone would fly in to Doha, fly out USAF and when the tour was over fly USAF back to Doha. Well, they didn't stamp out and it's looked like a 5 month vida overstay. Big, big problem for them.

I am anxious to hear from others concerning this policy in Jomtian
