FM3 expired

Read all the posts and do not see an answer for me

My FM3 expired in April, was out of the country and re-entered in May on tourist visa....can I apply for a NEW FM3 without paying penalties on the old one? Was just going to take a trip to US for new tourist visa but may not be able to leave in time.

Thanks one and all.

It should work as alot of time has passed, probably 98% chance of no problems, even immigration has told us that it is best to get a new FM3 if more than a few months have passed and the old one expired but then again they change their minds alot, worth a try.

I recently got an e-mail from a lady who had let her FM3 expire. INM told her what Spencer said.
