Question Buying foreign domain names?

I need to look into getting some foreign domain names i.e France .fr and Sweden .se for my company. Ive checked the names I need are not in use and now need to buy them but am not sure how to go about it. Are there UK ISP's who can do this, Or do I need to go directly to a foreign ISP?

Also, I was wondering if there were rules to do with having a registered office in the countries your buying the names for? Not a problem but something I may need to consider.

Cheers

It's quite possible that there might be some hops to jump through in terms of registered companies name and/or location. I've done a .NL and there was for that.

I used Simply - they should be able to help.

It depends on the TLD's NIC. France may not let you have a .fr domain name if you're not French or resident in France for example.
