Go to the car showroom.

Hand over the money.

Let them sort it out.

Don't take your wife with you, she will get in the way.

You will need a resident certificate from Immigrations.

That sound good. You mind telling me the procedure about getting residence certificate. Do I have to fill in some form?

There is no from, the procedure will be up to your Immigrations office.

If you are not on extension of stay take with you proof of residence (rent contract).

Some offices will charge you some not.

Can take half an hour up to two weeks depending on office.

Where are you located?

Do the same rules apply to owning a motorbike?
What documents do Immigration need to give me a certificate of residence, and how long it is valid ?

I just got a letter from my embassy confirming my address, did have to pay for that though, garage did all the rest.
