The thing is that I'm moving to NY from abroad and I do pay taxes. What can I expect?
A judge will consider these facts to decide if your intent is to make NY State a "fixed and permanent" residence. According to this law, students from other states or from other nations who attend school in New York State are usually not considered residents of NY State.
Oh, I didn't know that. Well, can I register my car in NY anyway?
Yes. The registration requirements are generally the same as to register and title vehicles in New York. However, there are a few exceptions for out-of-state vehicles, and imported vehicles.
