I need to go to immigration to get a 'Re-Entry Permit'. I've got an old blank TM8 form but I'm not sure if this is still the current form, attached. I've checked 'Forms', in this group and can't find a copy of a TM8 to check my copy against.

Can someone please comment if my TM8 form is still valid?

TIA

Comments revealed that while the old form may still be accepted, the current version is now a two-page format which does not indicate the re-entry fee. One commenter provided a link to the updated TM8 form and shared their quick experience at the immigration counter.

that is actually the OLD form (they will accept it but it's now a 2 page (one paper front to back) one that doesn't show the price of the re-entry

This should jump you to the PDF of the new form
